Teen Intensive Summer Camp program
Four-week theatre summer camp for students ages 14-18
The Arvada Center Teen Intensive is a program that mimics the rehearsal and production process of professional Main Stage musicals at the Arvada Center. The program provides a fun and fast-paced educational setting where participants work with industry professionals to encourage, inspire, challenge and refine students’ performance skills. Participants then apply their skills directly as they create their characters within the show. In this intensive program, students gain insights into the entire theatrical production process.
As always, the goal of the Arvada Center Teen Intensive is to educate, promote growth, and provide an atmosphere where students can explore their own creativity and be supported and celebrated for who they are.
This four-week camp will encourage, inspire, challenge, and refine students at all levels as they come together as strangers and leave as family, all in the spirit of fun.
