Every day campers attend their five pre-selected activities, called Dailies. These are chosen from a host of classes in areas of theater, dance, music, visual arts and media. Activity lists and request forms will be mailed to registered campers in April. In Dailies, campers focus their energies on and explore five particular activities for the full camp session. Additionally, each day features one Choice period. During Choice, campers select from a changing list of arts and recreational activities. Guest artists and theater professionals from Arena Stage’s staff make special appearances at Camp Arena Stage to share their knowledge with the campers. The Noontime Show and a few surprises make every day its own at Camp Arena Stage.
