Vanguard Summerstock Theater Camps offers the FULL summer camp experience with our professionally run educational programs.

VTC KIDS teaches our youngest actors, ages 8–13, to believe in their creative ideas, express them in front of others, and learn to be supportive of their peers.
SummerstockVTC Sleepaway Intensive is an intensive sleep-away program for the serious Theater & Musical Theater performer between the ages of 12–19.
