The best way to grow is to perform a show! That’s been our motto every summer at Mixon Musical Theatre Day Camp as we create a Theatrical Production with your children. Our campers spend their day acting, singing, dancing, designing sets, and managing props – with additional instruction in aerial silks, visual arts construction, plus mindfulness meditation and yoga. All these combine to create a beautiful show and an exciting growth experience for your youngsters. Because we incorporate technical theatre elements, ALL children have the chance to create and take pride in many aspects of the process. Our 3 weeks of rehearsal culminate in a performance of “MATILDA the Musical” on the final 2 days of camp. Come have fun and learn together as we use the business of show to help your kids grow!

Campers choose from a variety of activities in real-time including, sewing, stop-motion animation, music, coding, sports & rec, makers crafts, baking, & more. They’ll decide what they want to do, and for how long.

This summer families can buy as many days as they’d like, and use them at any time. No weekly reservations required–just show up! Or, if you need more care, purchase a Summer Pass, which covers the whole season. If for any reason your plans change, they’ll automatically refund any unused Passes in full at summer’s end.
