Summer at St. Michael's / Theatre at St. Michael's

Welcome to St. Michael's Summer Camps! We have two branches of camps, both located on the scenic campus of St. Michael's Country Day School, in historic Newport, Rhode Island. Campers will enjoy our beautiful seven-acre seaside campus overlooking one of Newport's famous beaches, and have complete access to the school's facilities, including classrooms, a new library, large art studios, state-of-the-art science labs, a fully equipped theatre, a computer lab, playgrounds and playing fields. In addition, we have a beautiful outdoor swimming pool on the grounds, and all campers get swim time as a refreshing break at the end of a productive day in the theatre. A certified lifeguard is on duty at all times. St. Michael's Summer Fun Camp - Summer fun for ages 3 - 14, choose from seven- week long sessions beginning June 26th including Sports, weekly themed Adventure Camps (3 - 5 yrs and 6- 12 yrs) and Enrichment Camps with themes like Chess, Lego Robotics, Creative Movement, Math Madness, and much more... Campers get daily dips in the pool. Adventure programs include crafts and story time, all with professional caring instructors and enthusiastic assistants. Half and full day programs available. Visit our site for the full list of camp activities and details. Theatre at St. Michael's Camp - We invite young performing artists to come together with our talented staff for an amazing summer of theatre! TASM uses each individual's talents to create, rehearse, and produce a unique theatrical event. These events include an original movie screened at the Jane Pickens Theater, an original musical written by the campers and given a world-premiere performance, and a pair of Shakespearean plays. Campers are involved in all aspects of the production, both onstage and off, developing existing theatre talents (although no previous experience is necessary), learning new skills, and making lifelong friends along the way. Our sessions this summer include the Original Movie Production (June 26 - July 7), Original Musical Production (July 10 - July 29) and Shakespeare Camp "As You Like It" (July 31 - August 12), all for ages 9-15, as well as our Teen Shakespeare Intensive "King Lear" (July 3 - 15), for ages 14-18. TASM also offers a popular tech program for those young thespians who would rather be behind the scenes - they will learn proper use of tools and equipment so they can help with the design and creation of the set, props, costumes, and also run sound, lights, and special effects during rehearsals and performances. All sessions are led and directed by theatre professionals, and the end-of-session productions are invariably well-attended smash hits. Cost varies by session, and financial aid is available.
