Summer Theater Camp 2026

StagePlay Learning, located in Edwardsville, Illinois, is excited to present our Summer Theater Camps, designed to introduce kids to the dynamic world of performing arts and theater and help those who have a passion for the stage to continue to grow and develop their skills. Weeklong themed theater camps are offered for Pre-K – 2nd grade and 3rd – 5th grader in the Great St. Louis area throughout the summer at our Edwardsville studio. Each session concludes with a Final Showcase where family and friends are invited to watch and celebrate the achievements of the actors and the hard work they’ve put in during the week. Our participants have so much fun that it’s not unusual to register for more than one session. And, theater camps do fill quickly, so be sure to register for one of our upcoming 2026 sessions before it’s too late!

Now is the time to start thinking about activities for your kids to participate in throughout the summer. Theater and the preforming arts are a wonderful and fun way for your child to participate in imaginative play while also developing skills sets for cooperation, empathy, team building and how to interact in a group environment. Furthermore, students are encouraged to explore expression through voice inflections and non-verbal skills which builds confidence for positive communication among family, friends and in academic settings.
