Journey Drama Camp is an annual week-long event giving students (ages 15-21) the opportunity to develop and practice skills in musical theater — singing, choreography and drama — as they enjoy the process of bringing a full production to the stage in just one week!

 

This year, we are producing Honk!, the story of the Ugly Duckling. Creatively arranged by Stiles and Drewe, this heartwarming tale is sure to delight audiences of all ages with its sparkling wit and memorable score.

The cost of the camp is $250 per performer. Additional members of the same family are eligible for a $25 discount. A camp t-shirt is included in the cost. 

Please note: Participants 18 and older will need to undergo a background check which has a $13 fee.
