MTYP SUMMER CAMP

Download 2008 Camp Enrollment Form

CAMP FOR KIDS ages 5 - 8
Session 1 – June 2-6    Session 3 - June 16-20     Session 5 – July 28 – August 1

MTYP offers Sessions 1, 3, and 5 for 5 - 8 year olds.  After selecting fun Broadway songs, our staff writes an age-appropriate script utilizing the songs.  All campers learn songs, dances, and dialogue, and perform for their families and friends on the last day of camp.

Camp for 5-8 year olds meets from 9:00am to noon, with the performance at 1:00pm on Friday.  On Friday, campers will either bring a sack lunch or money for pizza! 

Camp cost is $85, and includes a small snack each morning and a camp tee shirt.  Be sure to indicate shirt size on the enrollment form. 

A confirmation letter will be sent to campers after we receive the enrollment form, with more details!

CAMP FOR KIDS ages 9 - 12
Session 2 – June 2-6    Session 4 - June 16-20     Session 6 – July 28 – August 1

MTYP offers Sessions 2, 4 and 6 for 9 - 12 year olds. The campers will perform a musical selected by the staff, and the staff makes certain it is a musical popular with this age group, with lots of roles for everyone! 

Camp for 9-12 year olds will meet from 1:00pm to 4:00pm on Monday through Thursday, but on Friday, we will begin at 3:00pm, with the performance at 7:00pm.  This will let us accommodate the schedule of the morning campers.  For the first four days, campers will eat lunch before they come to camp.  On the performance day, campers will bring a sack supper, or money for pizza. 

Camp cost is $90, and includes a small snack each afternoon, and a camp tee shirt.  Be sure to include shirt size on the enrollment form.

A confirmation letter with more details will be sent to you after we receive your enrollment form!

PERFORMANCES for Sessions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
will be at the Orpheum Theater!

MTYP is located at 3305 E. Douglas, on the southeast corner of Douglas and Rutan – across from the Hillcrest Apartments, one block east of Hillside.  The building sign on Douglas says ABAY Orthodontics – they’re our landlord! 

ADVANCED CAMP - 11 - 14 YEAR OLDS
July 21 - 27 (Monday through Sunday)

For the preteen and young teens ready for something more challenging, we offer Advanced Camp for the third year!  Advanced Camp will audition, cast, rehearse, and perform a musical from the “JUNIOR” catalog at Music Theatre International.  The first five days will meet from 10:00am - 3:00pm, at MTYP, and campers will bring a sack lunch. 

The location for the production is still being negotiated, but will be a professional performing space (we previously have used Mosley Street Melodrama Theater and the Orpheum Theater).  The schedule for the final two days will be determined by the theater we use.  Saturday will likely have a rehearsal time of 10am to 3:00pm, and Sunday likely will have an early afternoon rehearsal, lasting until the late afternoon performance.  These details will be sent in your confirmation letter.

Advanced Camp tuition is $120.  Tuition includes a camp tee shirt.  Be sure to indicate size on the enrollment form.

In order to attend Advanced Camp, campers must have prior musical theatre experience.  Acceptable experience includes one mainstage MTYP production, or two MTYP camps.  Alternatively, experience in other theatres will be considered.

CAMP FOR TEENAGERS
(13 year-olds through the Class of 2008)            July 7 through July 19

We are pleased to offer Teen Camp for the 10th year!  Camp meets for two weeks at MTYP, Monday through Friday, and Monday through Wednesday.  Thursday and Friday of the second week we’ll rehearse at Century II, and the two performances will be on Saturday, July 19!  We are working around the MTWichita Teen Choir schedule, and choir members will only need to miss one MTWichita Teen Choir performance. 

The Teen Camp musical is CRAZY FOR YOU – lots of dancing! There are many roles, and a busy chorus. Mike Roark will direct, with Amy Baker as choreographer!  We all love Mike, and this is Amy’s first opportunity to work with us because she’s been busy tap dancing in Broadway tours and living in NYC!

Each day of camp, from 9:00am to 4:00pm, the teens practice lines, rehearse scenes, prepare costumes, work on the set, and learn the songs and dances.  Cast members bring a sack lunch each day, but MTYP will provide pizza for supper during the final rehearsal.  We also are exploring workshops on tap dancing and audition skills as part of camp, and doing those extra activities after 4:00pm.  Let us know what you think!

Teenager Camp tuition is $190, and includes tee shirts and some pizza!
