Performing Arts Summer Camps

Performing Arts Summer Camps

20: the number of performing art camps in Brooklyn.

Our performing arts camps explore music, acting, and dance. Many of our campers have gone on to professional careers. Of course, a performing arts camp helps out if your young camper has aspirations of attending high school at LaGuradia, Murrow, or Frank Sinatra.
