Led by experienced instructors, this intensive program offers a supportive and collaborative environment that encourages growth and self-expression.

"I would say the summer camp is really for that student that wants to pursue this outside of a high school production, so our kids that come to these intensive summer camps usually have already had a bit of training before they come here. It is an audition only invitation," said Jessica Rhodes with the Patel Conservatory.
