Being in a Show

Benefits of Participating in the Shows at Our Summer Theater Camp for Kids

Attending a summer theater camp is an incredible opportunity for any child, whether they want to pursue acting as a career or not. At Ghostlight Theater Camp, we encourage all of our campers to build their acting skills and give everyone their moment in the spotlight. We understand that attending our performing arts camp offers incredible value for young people of all ages and skill levels. The benefits of attending our camp and participating in our shows can affect all aspects of your child’s life. Here are just a few of the benefits of attending our summer theater camp for kids: 

• Develop Confidence & Presentation Skills: Learning to speak and perform in front of other people is an important life skill that can serve every child throughout their academic and professional careers. Performing in our shows gives our campers courage and self-confidence. They will learn to speak clearly and persuasively while holding their audience’s attention. 
• Learn to Work in a Team: Acting in a show requires campers to work with others. They’ll practice choreographing scenes, playing off each other, and working together to make the show a success. This will naturally develop your child’s social skills and help them become more generous, patient people. 
• Build Friendships & Develop Empathy: Kids in a summer theater camp are encouraged to step into their roles, which helps them learn to understand others and themselves. In addition to building empathy, campers get the chance to meet new people and develop lifelong friendships. 
• Practice Creative Thinking: At Ghostlight Theater Camp, we encourage our campers to think outside the box as much as possible. This helps them stretch their developing abilities and learn to think more creatively, which according to leading research has lifelong cognitive benefits. 
• Build Discipline: Our summer theater camp instills self-discipline in multiple ways. Campers follow a structured schedule that requires them to listen to directors, rehearse their roles, and follow relevant instructions. Your child will need to prepare for their role, knowing that others in the show will be relying on them. 
• Have Fun! For kids, summer vacation should be all about fun. In addition to the rewarding experiences campers will receive from participating in our shows, they will have plenty of opportunities to participate in outdoor activities, trips, and other quintessential camp experiences. Not only will your child learn important life skills, they’ll have a blast while doing so!
