Give your child a summer filled with creativity, confidence, and fun. With weekly themes and flexible scheduling, NorCal Arts Summer Camp makes it easy to create a summer they'll love.

Each week features new songs, activities, and scripts, so campers can return for a fresh experience every session. Our first session, A Blast from the Past, and our second session, Healing Through Comedy, have been wonderful. Session 3 and 4 are sold out but there's still time to join us in some of our groups.

Campers explore drama, singing, movement, improv, and storytelling with our professional teaching artists while building confidence, collaboration skills, and lasting friendships.

Join us for a powerful production of Dear Evan Hansen, a Tony Award–winning musical about a socially anxious high school student who longs to belong. After a misunderstanding following a loss in his school community, Evan finds himself caught in a lie that brings connection and attention—but also difficult consequences. Through powerful music and storytelling, the show explores themes of mental health, grief, honesty, and the importance of being seen for who you truly are.
