About the Program
Young performers in rising 2nd through rising 4th grades are invited to join our brand-new summer theatre experience with CCAP: Rising Stars! Campers will learn the fundamentals of musical theatre through acting, singing, choreography, blocking, and audition preparation—all in a fun, supportive environment.
Students will build confidence, creativity, and performance skills throughout the week, and will share what they’ve learned in a final showcase featuring scenes and songs from a variety of shows.
Get ready for an unforgettable summer on stage at CCAP: Rising Stars!
What to Expect
Our dedicated and energetic team fosters the development of skills including:
-
Stage presence
Campers learn to command attention with confidence — developing posture, projection, and the awareness that transforms a performer from someone on a stage into someone who owns it.
-
Character Development
Students explore how to build a believable character from the inside out — understanding motivation, emotion, and storytelling to bring their role to life in an authentic and compelling way.
-
Vocal Training
From breath support and pitch to phrasing and stylistic expression, campers receive focused instruction that strengthens their singing voice and helps them connect emotionally with every song.
-
Choreography & Blocking
Campers learn how movement and staging tell the story — picking up choreography with precision while understanding how blocking shapes a scene, guides the audience's eye, and creates visual impact.
-
Improvisation & Creativity
Through games and exercises, students develop quick thinking, spontaneity, and the freedom to take creative risks — skills that make for stronger performers and more confident collaborators in any setting.
-
Theatrical Process
Campers get a real inside look at how a production comes together — from first read-throughs and rehearsals to tech week and opening night, building professional habits and respect for the craft.
-
Ensemble Work
Great theatre is built on trust and teamwork. Campers learn to listen, support one another, and perform as a unified cast — discovering that the strength of every individual makes the whole production shine.

My daughter loved the Rising Stars summer camp! She was exposed to so many different wonderful songs and scenes from classic and newer, plays. It helped her gain so much confidence and she made so many great new friends!
— Heather G.
We absolutely loved the Rising Stars camp. When I asked Skyler her favorite parts, she said everything, but specifically mentioned that she loved that everyone is included and made to feel special. She loved that it incorporated dance, singing, and acting. It was also great that learning about staging and putting on a show were part of the learning experience. An all-around wonderful week of fun.

Last summer, my daughter had a wonderful time participating in the Rising Stars Theater Camp. She was introduced to all the different aspects of theater in a fun and supportive environment. The Cabaret show the campers put on at the end of the week was fantastic!
