1. What is Camp OK?
- Camp OK is a full day, outdoor camp that runs Monday to Friday. Each session is two weeks long. We teach dancing, singing and acting as well as many other non-theatre related activities and games for campers aged 7+. We have devoted and energetic staff members who are there to create a safe, comfortable, and exciting environment for campers to develop and grow!
- No, our programming works best over two weeks. In 2020 & 2021 we ran Camp OK as a one week camp only to help with COVID restrictions. We have now operated over two summers with COVID protocols and feel we can move the camp back to the more preferable two-week summer camp.
- Camp OK is a nut free and latex free environment. However, if your child has an allergy or medical concern, please be sure to alert our staff via the medical form section of your online registration.
