First and second-graders at Wortham’s Creative Arts Camp
The Wortham Center for the Performing Arts has announced its 2025 summer schedule of Creative Arts Camps, opportunities for rising 1st through 5th grade students to experience a week of hands-on immersion in theater, music and the visual arts. “This summer, our camp is bursting with creativity, hands-on fun and artistic adventure,” says Sharvis Smith, Wortham’s education and engagement director. “Each themed week invites campers to explore a different imaginative world where they’ll create, perform and discover through the arts.”
For rising 1st and 2nd graders, a Performing Arts Camp will take place June 23-27 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day. “Campers will time travel through history, exploring artistic styles and various arts disciplines across the ages,” says Smith. The campers will explore core concepts of acting, music and movement through fun, interactive activities in preparation for a short performance at the end of the week.
A Creative Arts Camp for the same age group will take place from July 14-18 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. “It’s off to a land of magical creatures where imagination knows no bounds—every idea sparks a new adventure, and every creation tells a story,” says Smith.
A Performing Arts Camp for rising 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders will take place July 7-11 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. “Campers will dive into the world of storytelling, putting creative twists on classic tales and crafting original stories through art, drama and movement,” says Smith.
A Creative Arts Camp for this age group will take place July 21-25, also from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. “Young agents-in-training will crack secret codes, solve creative mysteries and unleash their inner artist-agents in a week full of intrigue and invention,” says Smith.
