Sign up now for Catco is Kids Summer Camps!
Our classes and camps use theatrical techniques to reinforce values, empathy, and understanding, as well as important life lessons while providing children with the chance to explore their creative side. More than 750 kids participate in our camps and classes annually, resulting in more than 13,000 hours of interaction with performing arts educators!
Campers will create a mini-show in just one week! Each week covers a different theme. All campers 6–8 and 9–12 must bring a brown bag lunch daily. Campers 6–8 and 9–12 will participate in a final “in-formance” at noon on Friday each week. All programs take place at Columbus Performing Arts Center, 549 Franklin Ave., Columbus, OH 43215
All participants pay a one-time yearly registration fee of $25 per child.
