Gpa Kids PErFORMIng ARTS camp
Join Gateway Performing Arts for our camp production intensive for kids entering 4th-6th grade.
Campers will enjoy all the fun of a typical camp along with a full thirty-minute production experience including costuming, makeup, and lights! Through this 6-day journey, campers will spend time in worship, small groups, and breakout sessions (including games, costume crafts, and more!). All the while, they will develop new skills as they rehearse and present 2 performances of Frozen KIDS.

Submitting an audition video is optional. Auditions are for role placement purposes only. Audition materials and instructions will be provided in the registration confirmation email. Those who submit audition videos may be invited to attend callbacks. Not every child who submits a video will receive a callback, but every camper has a guaranteed spot in the cast of Frozen KIDS.
The dance audition is a requirement for all campers. Based on the dance audition, campers will be placed in one of three ensembles during camp.
Pre-camp rehearsals will be treated like a rehearsal schedule with call times and release times varying by the show content being covered and the characters needed for that content. Exact call times for these rehearsals will be made available at the time of casting. Not all characters may be needed at pre-camp rehearsals.
Performances will have open seating on a first-come-first-served basis for $10 a seat. Tickets can be purchased at the door or online.
