https://forms.gle/ZCKyCdheGK6MS8Hm7

IMPORTANT: Our Mathews Camp is now FULL for all ages.  Our Middlesex Camp is FULL for ages 8-18 . We only have openings for K-7-year-olds in the Middlesex week.  We are keeping a waitlist for the other ages.

You will receive an email within a week with payment information and instructions.  Your child's registration is complete when payment is received.

Our annual summer Missoula Children's Theatre camps are a great opportunity for children who have completed grades K-12.  (Children must have completed kindergarten in order to attend.)

The camps provide a week-long summer day camp experience run by professional actors for up to 60 children. Children audition on Monday morning, are assigned parts before lunch, and begin rehearsals by that same afternoon. On Friday night and Saturday morning, after only a week of rehearsals, they present two performances (usually a fairy tale with a twist!), complete with costumes, props, and sets.

We have two summer day camps each year, one in Mathews and one in Middlesex. They are open to children who have completed grades K-12 and who are committed to attending all week.

Our shows for Summer 2025 will be:

Mathews High School
July 7-12th
THE SNOW QUEEN
Chp mct blackbeard the pirate




St. Clare Walker Middle School
July 14-19th:
BLACKBEARD THE PIRATE

 
Registration Info:

Registration this year will be entirely online.  On March 1st at 6 p.m., we will open the link to our Google form for registration.  Please note that completing the form does NOT guarantee your spot in the camp.  You will receive a followup email with instructions to pay the registration fee and your child's spot is reserved when payment is received.  Camp spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis and spots typically fill quickly.  We will maintain a waitlist once all camp openings are filled and you will be informed if your child has been placed on that waitlist.

Camp Information:

Workshops begin Monday through Thursday at 9:30 a.m. Children ages 5 to 7 stay until noon, while children who are at least 8 years old by the Monday that camp begins stay until 2 p.m. All students bring a packed lunch.

On Friday, students come after lunch (around 2:00 p.m.), participate in one final rehearsal, eat a heavy snack in costume at 5 p.m. and then perform for an audience at 6 p.m.

On Saturday morning,  students arrive by 10 a.m.,  get into costume and makeup, and prepare for their performance that day.

Additional mini workshops are available on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, lasting until 3:00 p.m. for those who participate

Payment for the camp is due at the time of registration, but partial scholarships are available to help offset the cost of the camp for those with financial need.  The registration fees for camp are $90 per student, $80 for additional siblings.  You may apply for one scholarship per child (covering one week of camp) or up to two scholarships per family.

Performances are always open to the public.  Tickets are available in advance and at the door.  Both shows will have performances at 6:00 on Friday night and at 11 a.m. on Saturday morning.
