25th Annual Performing Arts Summer Camp

June 14, 2010 - August 20, 2010

Junior Camp: ages 5-7
Camp: ages 8-15
Mini Camp: ages 6-14

The University Center for the Performing Arts Summer Camp is South Florida's original performing arts camp. Specifically designed to develop a child's individual talent while broadening his or her understanding and ability in all areas of the performing arts, the camp offers serious fun loving children and teens intensive daily training in an environment of high energy, fun and excitement.

Our resident faculty of professional artists provide each camper with the opportunity to explore, challenge and improve their ability and technique. Each and every camper will be observed and evaluated for attitude, approach and proficiency. For those considering a future or career in the performing arts, advice and guidance will be available and happily offered.

As many of you know, both Sessions A & B and Mini Camp of the UCPA Summer Camp program sold out very early last year again. We hope you will take advantage of early enrollment to secure your place.

As always, we will have our "regular" camp sessions for ages 8-14 and Junior Camp for ages 5-7. We will then end the summer with two individual weeks of Mini Camp for ages 6-14.
