Welcome To Summer Camp
WELCOME!
OSSD’s summer camp is already 20 years old!
That’s twenty summers of creativity, fun and learning where students have had the chance to work and collaborate with professional actors, directors, musicians and choreographers. Our campers discover the world of theatre and challenge themselves. It's a summer filled with discoveries that can last a lifetime.
Our air-conditioned Westboro studios are centrally located, with convenient drop-off and parking. There is a well-maintained city park close by for fun outdoor activities.
All of our creative and fun camps help young people to develop self-confidence, spontaneity, the ability to articulate and ability to work collaboratively with others. Everyone on staff makes it a priority to create an environment that is safe, supportive and encouraging.
Each day begins with a physical and vocal warm up to get campers ready for a day of dramatic excitement. The emphasis is on learning creative skills, making new friends and exploring ways that theatre can bring ideas to life. Every camp session ends with a open class for family and friends so that students can show off and share the skills they learned over the session.
Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, 6 or 17 years old, OSSD is the place to be for summer theatre!
