2025 Theatre Tillsonburg Camp
​
​
Our campers are ready for Theatre Tillsonburg Camp experience, and so are we! We are excited to announce that we will once again provide the same daily, on-site Theatre Tillsonburg Camp experience you've come to know and love.
This year, we're offering seven weeks of themed, day camp programming for children ages four through 15.
From designing and creating props, to starring in music videos and theatrical performances, our program fosters a fun and inclusive environment for campers to experience all aspects of performing art. Bringing new program offerings together with Theatre Tillsonburg Camp traditions that participants have looked forward to and enjoyed for 30+ years, we can't wait to for you to join us!

Intensive Workshop Structure
​
We've developed full-day schedules that are jam-packed with enriching activities to help our campers become true triple threats! Our campers will have many opportunities to build new skills, practice creative expression and grow in confidence.
Wider Age Range
In addition to our regular program, which builds basic skills in performing arts for campers as young as four, we will be offering a specialized workshop-style program for 13- to 15-year-old campers every afternoon.
Big-Stage End-of-Session Show
Our end-of-session shows will take place up on the big-stage, theatre style! Throughout the week, campers will rehearse together for their debut of their big-stage performance for friends and family every Friday afternoon!
