Our Youth Show Camp provides an opportunity for youth ages 6-17 to learn about performing on and off stage. Registration for camp is now closed.
Youth performers of all abilities are welcome to join us for Vaud-Villities Youth Show Camp, June 9th – 13th, 2025 at Ohio Dominican University.
Youth Show Camp for campers ages 8-17 is a full day (9a-5p), summer day camp incorporating all aspects of stage performance and summer camp fun! Students will learn about singing, dancing, acting, how to create costumes, props, and set pieces.
Camp for ages 6 + 7 will be a half day experience.
This hands-on opportunity will allow students to help develop their skills as performers. They’ll also learn a bit of the technical and behind the scenes portions of theater as well.
Our summer camp includes all the typical fun summertime activities – including plenty of breaks for getting outside and playing field games. Our week culminates in a live performance for friends and family at the Matesich Theater on Ohio Dominican University’s Campus.
This full day camp is not one to be missed if you have a child who is interested in any aspect of theater and live performance!

INSPIRING CREATIVITY
This week-long experience will culminate in a performance to showcase talent both on and off stage featuring original set pieces and props designed and built by the campers.
M-F FULL DAY
To support both the working and non-working parents, this camp experience is a jam-packed full week of programming from morning until night. Bring your own lunch. Ages 6 + 7 can experience a half day of camp from 9am-12pm daily and a full day on Friday.
Learning is doing! From selecting costuming to reading scripts, learning movement and songs, drawing the curtains and running the sound and lights this experience is incredibly interactive.
FRIDAY SHOWCASE
Friday at 2:30 p.m. youth will showcase everything they have learned throughout the week in a free 60-minute show for their friends and family in the beautiful Matesich Theatre at Ohio Dominican University.
