CLCPAC Summer 2025 Spotlight Youth Theatre Camps
The Central Lakes College Performing Arts Center is excited to present the 3rd annual Spotlight Youth Theatre Camp, a dynamic theatre experience for students in grades 1-4 and 5-12. This engaging program welcomes all skill levels—no prior theatre experience required, just a passion for creativity and collaboration!
Led by some of the Brainerd Lakes Area’s finest teaching artists—Mary Aalgaard, director of Play Off The Page, and director/choreographer Amy Borash—campers will develop acting skills, explore storytelling, and work together to bring scenes and characters to life.
We believe theatre should be accessible to all! Suggested tuition options are available, but if cost is a concern, please contact us—we’ll work with you to make participation possible.
