Why take PHP Camp?
Our Teachers are Fun and Friendly! In addition to being excellent instructors, all of our teaching staff are professional actors at Gamut Theatre and enrich the learning experience by being successful working artists, an excellent resource for our students.
Team Gamut! You will work within small groups of like-minded students on supervised projects, activities, and games, interacting in a professional manner while having space to socialize. Team-building is key to create a successful theatre ensemble. Even if you are shy or have had no experience, everyone is welcome to Team Gamut.
Opportunity to Act! You will work on a short play with other students to present at the end of the week for family and friends.
Make New Friends! And reconnect with old ones. We know that these past two years have been strange for everyone. Here’s your chance to meet kids from other schools and communities while working on common goals.
