WHO WE ARE

Camp Arena Stage is dedicated to the personal and creative growth of its campers, by providing excellent arts instruction in a joyful, supportive community. Campers are empowered to choose their own schedule from over 50 classes in theater, dance, music, visual arts, filmmaking and writing. Camp Arena Stage brings together campers (ages 8-15) and professional artist-educators from diverse backgrounds to explore, discover and create art.

WHAT WE VALUE

Community and art make the magic of Camp Arena Stage.

At camp we see, recognize and appreciate each individual for who they are and the art that only they can make. We value being present, joyful, creative and kind.

We know art has a product, but it is also a process full of mistakes and discoveries.

We support one another and make a place that is safe to take risks and to grow.
