When looking for a great Summer program for troubled youth, parents may want to consider a specialized camp. There are often ones offered in art, history, performing arts and science all over the world. One of the most well known of these camps is that of Herberger which offers a theatre camp Phoenix. While there are others, this particular camp offers children from dysfunctional homes, group and foster homes, homeless youth and those undergoing medical or psychological treatment the ability to attend free of charge.
When desiring to send a child to camp and living outside the Phoenix area, it is often good to do an online search to locate similar opportunities closer to home. While some children excel in the performing arts, others are more focused on subjects like science and history. As such, it is often best to discuss which type of camp a child might be interested in before finalizing any plans or completing the application and registration process.
As different children have different interests, it is important to locate a program in which little ones will not get bored. Although, when it comes to performing arts oriented programs, there are generally a number of different areas in which those in attendance can focus. These areas often include coursework in writing and directing, acting for stage and film, musical scoring to stage set up and design.
At most, guest artists, volunteers and instructors lead classes in costuming, improvisation, mask making, props, stage set-up and take down and other aspects of theater. While this is the case, it is generally the children who create, produce and present productions during the last week of camp. Volunteers often help with costuming, stage design and set-up to help build self-confidence and teach more technical aspects associated with performing arts.
When an individual is serious, it is often recommended that one find an agent or manager in the local area. While working in acting and other areas of the performing arts can be fun, it can also be quite time consuming. Actors tend to spend anywhere from 8 to 14 hours a day on set when filming for the movies, or multiple nights not only in production but also in preparation and rehearsals for stage plays.
Whether working as an instructor or volunteer, it is important to keep attendees engaged during all aspects of a program. In most cases, this is done by allowing students to create, plan and produce a final production towards the end of a program. After which, most often guardians, parents and local residents are invited to view what is often some pretty amazing work presented by those attending these programs
Some individuals can take rejections personally when lacking this knowledge. Something that can be quite hard for children whom have, or, are currently dealing with rejection in other areas. As such, most often these Summer programs try and find a place for every child in the final productions.
Whether preparing to act as part of a camp program or auditioning for a major production, children having attended these programs often have an edge whether working as children or adults. Not only because of having a past background and performance history at an early age but also because of the general knowledge which has also been gained through these performing arts oriented programs.
