2026 Summer Camp Dates & Details

Sellwood Studio’s Summer Musical Theatre Camps are the perfect way for kids of any experience level to dive into acting, singing, and dancing while having a blast!

Children participate in all aspects of camp, including acting, singing, dancing, writing, games, competitions, crafts, and, of course, the final show itself, free to attend for all friends and family on the final Friday afternoon of the session.

The weeks are very active and feature extracurricular events such as Water Balloon Olympics, Games Day, Karaoke Competitions, Sports Day, Talent Shows, and more. All campers have a dedicated counselor with their group at all times to facilitate activities and ensure everyone is having the best time. Finally, there is a chill-out craft and games table available at all times for anyone who may need a little relaxation from the excitement.
