The Traveling Players Ensemble summer camp provides students with intensive, classical theater training that is led by professional theater artists. Students will learn how to perform in outdoor settings and each session culminates in an exciting performance which tours to several locations.
This unique day camp (Monday-Friday) features a campout every Thursday where performers learn Leave No Trace camping techniques, including pitching tents and cooking outdoors. In their final week, students will tour their show and campout close to their performance sites — giving them the experience of wandering entertainers who carry their dinner, tent and props in a backpack. As artists and backpackers, campers learn self-reliance, creative problem solving and to appreciate natures challenges and beauty.
There are a number of programs available for rising 6th – 12th graders – which means that there is an opportunity for you! If you are interested in a program but are concerned about cost, don’t be! There are scholarships available and the program has set aside scholarships specifically for SEED students.
To apply for a scholarship, you should:
- Write a letter to Artistic Director Jeanne Harrison explaining why you want to be a member of the Traveling Players’ summer programs and what special qualities you would bring to the Ensemble.
- Ask a teacher or coach who knows you well to fill out the short recommendation form.
- Have your parents provide a copy of their 2010 federal tax return to verify their eligibility for financial aid.
