Welcome, Artist!
This summer you are invited to explore, discover and create theater, music, visual arts, dance, media, your world, your art and yourself.
Camp Arena Stage empowers young people to express themselves more fully through
art by encouraging them to make art that speaks with their own voices. Campers
create their own schedules, choosing from a host of classes in theater, music,
dance, media and visual art. They can try unfamiliar art forms and/or pursue current
artistic interests: it’s up to them.
Located in the heart of the D.C. metro
area on the lovely gated campus of Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School,
Camp Arena Stage encourages the spirited pursuit of knowledge, self-discovery
and joy through the arts. Professional artists and highly trained staff provide
a safe, caring and fun atmosphere in which young artists can:
Explore our world through visual art, theater, dance and music media
Discover new interests and forms of expression
Create art that speaks with their own voices
