Summer Spectacular Theatre Camps

The Hippodrome is the premier cultural center for the region, providing the only professional venue for dramatic production within a 120-mile radius and the original comprehensive spring and summer theatre programs for youth in North Central Florida. For over thirteen years, the Hippodrome’s Theatre Camps have offered young actors opportunities to experience the theatre process in a professional environment. The program cultivates a lifelong knowledge and appreciation of theatre and builds interpersonal skills and an understanding of the process by which theatre is created.

The goal of the Hippodrome Camp Programs is to provide a fun and exciting environment outside the demands of the regular school structure. Registration is open to all children - from those who are just beginning to those who have participated in theatre before.
