MVCCT’s Camp is designed to be process oriented; the purpose is to expose the children to various aspects of theater and corresponding elements. All camps balance process and learning focus with production and performance. Basic theatre games and exercises are designed to work on specific acting craft areas, such as believability, sensory memory, and communication. Rehearsals teach performance skills, learning to follow directions and team building. There is a final showcase performed on last day of camp.
