Who thrives here Ages 6–9
Performing Arts fits middle-elementary campers — old enough for skill-building to land, young enough that friend-group dynamics and counselor warmth still matter more than program rigor. Parents at this age band tend to prioritize a balanced rhythm of structured activity and unstructured play, which is the actual differentiator inside any given specialty program.

Frequently asked about Performing Arts
- What ages does Performing Arts accept?
- Performing Arts is open to children ages 6–9. Camps publish their own age cutoffs, and some run mixed-age groups internally; check the registration page for that summer's grouping if your child sits at a boundary.
- How much does Performing Arts cost?
- Performing Arts publishes $300/week for the standard session. Final cost depends on session length, sibling discounts, and whether extended care is added on.
- What are Performing Arts's hours?
- Performing Arts runs 09:00:00 - 16:00:00. If those hours don't quite cover your work day, check whether extended care or early drop-off is offered separately.
- Who runs Performing Arts?
- Performing Arts is operated by a nonprofit organization. The operator type matters for tuition policy (refunds, financial aid eligibility) and for what kind of staff training pipeline the camp uses.
- Does Performing Arts provide lunch?
- Performing Arts does not include lunch — campers bring their own. Most day camps without provided lunch are nut-free or nut-aware, so check the allergy policy before packing. Frozen water bottles double as ice packs and drinks; insulated lunch boxes hold below 40°F for about four hours.
