MCT Summer Camp 2019
AGES 7-14
Miami Childrens Theater is South Florida's oldest and most established musical theater summer camp. Now in it's 23rd year, Miami Childrens Theater prides itself on a spotless safety record, incredible artistic excellence and a fun, educational approach to theater. Our format has remained the same since 1996: work three weeks on a big musical production and in the last week perform it for family and friends. Extra special to our camp at SMDCAC : each camp performs the show four times - twice in the evening for family and friends as well as two times in front of Miami-Dade County summer campers as a field trip destination show. Last summer our campers at SMDCAC performed the Lion King in front of two sold-out field trip shows - a total of 1800 summer campers witnessed our beautiful Lion King production. This is a tremendous opportunity for your child to grow as an actor and perform in an incredible setting.
The fee for the four week camp is $850. That includes all supplies, crafts, costumes and props. Miami Childrens Theater has a long history of making camp affordable to as many families as possible. MCT offers easy installment plans to help pay the camp fee!
