Why You Should Send Your Kids To A Musical Theater Camp

By George Wright


Kids who sing and dance bring joy to themselves and anyone they perform for. Family and friends may delight in their performances. They may even encourage them to take classes to learn how to sing and dance even better. It really helps for them to meet other children who have similar interests, which is why a Musical Theater Camp is a great idea as well.

These camps have a lot of things to offer, not the least of which is the classes in singing and dancing. They learn to do both, but also to hone any skills they may already have. These camps are really for all skill levels, so do not worry if your child is still a beginner. They not only acquire new skills but practice and improve upon the ones they already have under the guidance of professionals who know what it takes to make it on Broadway.

The children will also learn what is known in musical circles as song interpretation, where they sing something differently than the traditional way. There may also be specialized dance classes that focus on such classics as ballet, tap dancing, and jazz as well, so they know all of the major dance types.

The auditioning process should your kid pursue a career on the stage can be daunting. Even the most talented people may not get any work if they do not learn to audition and act like a professional when doing so. The teachers have experience in auditioning and can teach the students what they need to know.

The campers will learn all of these things, but it is not just learning at these camps. They get to do recreational activities as well, provided these are overnight camps. If it is held out in the country like many camps, then they may be able to indulge in swimming or canoeing. There may be musical instruments to play as well.

Traditionally, these camps are held in remote locations, much like a regular summer camp that kids can go to. There may not be one of these near you though, or your may balk at the idea of your child being away overnight. In these cases, you could send your kids to a day camp that are generally held in or near a city. You simply drop the child off in the morning, and pick them up each evening or afternoon.

No matter whether you do overnight or day camping, each session will last at least three weeks. Some places want a full four week commitment. While this may seem like a long time, it is good because it allows plenty of time for the campers to really hone the new skills they acquired. Without constant repetition, they may forget what they learned.

All of this culminates in a final performance for the parents. This is at the end of the session, and all the kids get to participate. They put on a big musical play to show what they learned to all the parents. It also gives them time in the spotlight, which they really need to get used to if they intend to use the camp as a stepping stone towards a career.
