St. Martin's Summer Theatre Camp

CAMP PARTNER SPOTLIGHT

With a seemingly unlimited number of options for summer camp in New Orleans, it can be hard for parents to decide what camp is a good fit for their child. More than just being fun, the St. Martin's Summer Theatre Camp can help children build skills like problem solving and teamwork.

Here are SEVEN REASONS YOUR CHILD

SHOULD DO THEATRE CAMP:

They'll learn empathy. When actors read a character, they're forced to put themselves in that character's shoes. They ask themselves why characters make certain choices, or how they could have done things differently.
They'll build confidence. Theatre encourages children to take risks and perform for an audience, teaching them to trust their ideas and abilities.
They'll learn to solve problems.
Theatre teaches that problems can have more than one solution. Improvisation fosters quick-thinking solutions, which can lead to greater adaptability in life.
They'll work as part of a team. Sports have the reputation of building teamwork, but theatre builds teamwork just as well! Kids in theatre learn that they are responsible to the group and must depend on others.
They'll broaden their horizons. Actors take on new personas that require them to behave, act, and speak in ways that may be unfamiliar. Through acting kids learn to see the world from a brand new, unexplored perspective.
They'll be exposed to variety of literature and history. Theatre is a great way to introduce children to literary and historical themes. Performing in a variety of productions helps children relate to historical events, igniting a love and respect for both history and literature.
They'll build imagination and creativity. In a world where technology is always at our fingertips, theater gives children an outlet to discover new ideas, make creative choices, and interpret material in expressive ways.
