Musical Theater Camp

⚠️ LIMITED SPACES AVAILABLE! Enroll soon!

Join us this summer for an unforgettable experience as Sparrow Song & Dance presents Disney’s The Lion King (Kids)—a high-energy, two-week musical theater camp designed to immerse, inspire, and empower young performers!

In this 2-week production camp, kids will rehearse and perform a professionally adapted version of the Broadway smash hit, Disney’s The Lion King.

Campers will be immersed in every aspect of musical theater—from vocal music and choreography to acting, costumes, makeup, and visual arts.

Campers learn what it takes to put on a full-scale musical while building teamwork, creativity, and confidence.

• 🎭 What Campers Will Learn

  At Sparrow’s Summer Musical Theater Camp, students train in singing, dancing, and acting — the essential skills of any musical theater performer. Each day includes focused classes in all three areas, plus hands-on experience bringing a full production to life!

  🎬 Bringing It All Together

  In addition to their daily classes, campers will:

  • Practice performing with props and set pieces

  • Learn about behind-the-scenes production: costumes, props, set creation, and more

  • Rehearse in full costume during our dress rehearsal
