Theater Arts Camp
"Annie"
This singularly epic camp runs for a month, from July into August. Aurora faculty, staff, and alumni counselors guide campers in creating costumes and sets for our Aurora adapted musical productions. They also learn lines and songs and rehearse until they’re ready to sing, dance, and act their hearts out at two live performances! Roles are split into multiple characters so there are more roles for kids of all ages to shine.
