Step into a summer of imagination with Adventures in Theatre! Our 2026 youth theatre camps in Asheboro, NC and Lexington, NC invite young performers to create, explore, and shine. Each camp blends storytelling, acting, movement, and hands‑on creativity in a joyful, supportive environment. Whether your child is brand‑new to theatre or already loves the spotlight, they’ll discover confidence, friendships, and unforgettable summer memories.
Adventures in Theatre’s Summer Program is designed to involve young actors in every aspect of theatre production. Working with local professional directors, music directors, choreographers, costumers, and scenic artists, campers learn essential theatre skills including audition techniques, stage movement, and character development. Over two weeks of theatre games, workshops, and some serious rehearsing, campers prepare a complete production featuring sets, costumes, lights, and props. Our Theatre Guru, Bobby, even writes roles specifically for the campers to ensure every performer is fully included and celebrated.
For our youngest performers, we offer half‑day camps created especially for early learners stepping into the world of theatre for the first time. Young actors need imagination to grow, create, think, and play — and theatre gives them the perfect space to do just that. A theatrical experience builds self‑confidence, strengthens verbal and literacy skills, and teaches patience, teamwork, adaptability, and creative problem‑solving. Theatre is one of the most valuable places where children can explore the endless possibilities of their imaginations.

Billie started the “Poor Theatre Company” to revitalize the arts in her sports-obsessed town of Lizard Lick, NC. Determined to perform “Phantom of the Opera,” they struggle to find a venue until Billie’s surprise call leads them to a hidden replica of the Palais Garnier. Her late Uncle Horace had built it for his wife, but after her passing, he boarded it up. To Billie's surprise, he lets the company use the space, along with costumes and props, though she withholds a few caveats. During rehearsals, chaos ensues as every attempt to sing is interrupted by a series of mishaps: a broken piano, a crashing chandelier, misguided tours, and even a couple of mischievous phantoms. This farcical adventure is filled with action, near disasters, and plenty of laughs—just no music!

⭐ Parent FAQ — Summer Theatre Camps
What should my child bring to camp
For full‑day camps, campers should bring a lunch, two snacks, and a bottle of water.
For half‑day camps, campers should bring two snacks and a bottle of water.
Please pack lunches in a cooler or insulated bag, as we cannot store food in a refrigerator. There is no microwave available.
Be sure to label your child’s lunchbox with their name.
We have campers with allergies this year — no peanut or tree nut products, please.
If your child has any medical needs, please include those details on the registration form so our staff can be prepared.
What should my child wear
Campers should wear comfortable play clothes that allow for movement and physical activity. It is essential that campers wear closed‑toed shoes every day of camp. If a student arrives in flip‑flops, sandals, or Crocs, they may not be able to participate in many of that day’s activities. Clothes that can get a little messy are perfect, as campers will be moving, dancing, sitting on the floor, and creating throughout the day.
What is your electronics and toy policy
Our goal is to keep campers fully engaged in activities throughout the day. Toys, video games, iPods, and other distracting devices are not permitted at camp. Campers may bring a cell phone, but it should only be used to contact parents or guardians when needed. We cannot be responsible for any damaged, lost, or stolen items.
What if my child has allergies or medical needs
Please list all allergies, medications, or medical considerations on the registration form. Our staff reviews this information before camp begins and will reach out if we need clarification.
Is there a final performance
Yes! Full‑day camps end with a complete production at the end of camp.
Half‑day camps conclude with a small presentation at the end of the week so families can see what the campers have been working on.
How do auditions work
We cannot guarantee or promise any particular role to any camper. All campers will have the same opportunity to audition for all roles in the production. Roles are determined by the director’s assessment of who best fits each part. Some roles are larger than others, but we do our best to highlight every child in a meaningful way.
Can my child attend multiple camps
Absolutely! Many campers join us for more than one week. Each camp has its own theme and creative focus, so the experience is fresh every time.
How do I choose the correct tuition option
Each camp has two options listed in its section:
- Discounted Tuition
- Standard Tuition
Discounted Tuition is available for families using sibling discounts, multi‑camp discounts, or other approved reductions. If you’re unsure which option applies to you, choose Standard Tuition and we’ll adjust your invoice if needed.
Do you offer sibling discounts
Yes. Sibling discounts are available for full‑day camps. Simply select the Discounted Tuition option when registering your additional child.
Are scholarships available
Yes. Sponsored scholarships are available for families who may need financial support. Please contact Nicole at nicole@adventuresintheatre.com for more information.
How do I complete payment
After selecting your camp and tuition option, you’ll be taken to a secure Square checkout page. Online prices include a 3% processing fee.
Families paying by check or cash may use the discounted tuition listed on the registration form.
Do you offer a payment plan
Yes! Families who prefer to spread tuition across multiple months may use our payment plan. Payment plans are completed online and include a 3% processing fee. Families paying in full by check or cash receive the discounted tuition with no added fees.
How many payments are available
Our payment plan adjusts as we get closer to summer to ensure all installments are completed before camp begins:
- January–February: 4‑payment plan
- March: 3‑payment plan
- April: 2‑payment plan
- May–June: Full payment due at registration
This rolling structure keeps things fair for all families and ensures everything is wrapped up before the first day of camp.
What is your refund policy
If your plans change, please contact us as soon as possible. Refunds are available up to one week before the start of your camp, less any processing or administrative fees.
Do you provide snacks or lunch
We do not provide food.
Full‑day camps: Please pack lunch, two snacks, and a water bottle.
Half‑day camps: Please pack two snacks and a water bottle.
Please pack lunches in a cooler or insulated bag, as we cannot store food in a refrigerator. There is no microwave available.
Please label your child’s lunchbox.

What if my child is nervous or new to theatre
Our camps are designed for beginners and experienced performers alike. We focus on creativity, confidence, and fun — not perfection. Our staff is warm, encouraging, and great at helping kids feel comfortable.
