Theatre Camp
June 22–26, 2025 | Cost: $375
For students in grades 9–12
You've got creativity, talent and a passion for theatre. We've got top-notch professors, state-of-the-art facilities, and a spot just waiting for you. From acting to designing to programming lights and sound, you'll experience every aspect of theatrical production. Plus, when not in our theatres, you'll get to stay in the dorms and eat in the cafeteria with Northwestern College mentors—perfect settings to bond with other students who love theatre as much as you do.
Each day will begin with warm-up drama games, followed by workshops on theatre skills such as acting, stage movement and costume design. In the afternoon, you'll be directed in improv and scene work.
The registration deadline is Friday, May 2. Your camp fee covers room and board and access to campus facilities. There's a $25 discount for returning campers or for local campers who choose not to stay in the dorms. A packing list will be sent out prior to camp.
If you need to cancel, there will be a $30 processing fee taken out of your refund.
