NJPAC – Summer Camp Programs For 10+

Yea I know… we are still trying to make it through this winter after all, its only March.  So why do I encourage you to think about summer camp now?  Because these classes I found are totally worth it! Also because early applications are required in some cases, some as soon as March.  In addition, scholarships are offered for all of these programs based on income so depending on the family, the entire program can be free! So, let’s get right to the deets!I had no idea that NJPAC offered summer programs.  Let alone such an extensive array of classes that allow your child to develop their inner artist by taking classes in dance, acting, musical theater, jazz and, hip hop. Classes are taught by professional artists and provide students the opportunity to immerse themselves in a supportive and engaging learning environment at NJPAC’s Center for Arts Education or in residence at Rutgers University’s Newark campus. NJPAC offers program choices that range from one week to five weeks in length.  Here are a few of them below:Acting • Musical Theater
