Who thrives here Ages 13–22
Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School & Camp - Dance Intensive serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in theater/music, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
