During the summer, Christian Performance Theatre (CPT) puts on week-long musical theater day camps for students ages 5-18. Camps are designed to be a fun and energetic immersion into the world of musical theater. Camps are jam-packed with games, activities, and interactive workshops that build performance skills, self-confidence, and teamwork. Typical camps include team competitions; rotations through drama, dance, and music workshops; and a concluding showcase for family and friends. Through praise, worship, prayer, and daily devotions, CPT teen camps are particularly focused on spiritual growth.
CPT Summer Camps are all about fun, friendships, and theatrics. Camps are a great
yearly tradition for your child!

Get ready for a summer like no other — where the spotlight shines on bold choices, unexpected tunes, and the thrill of exploring the "what ifs" of theatre! This camp is all about diving into the unforgettable songs from musicals that may be too big, too wild, or too offbeat for a typical CPT stage. We want the songs to be a surprise but we might consult with a Waitress that works in Memphis or find Something Rotten within A Chorus Line or maybe end up talking with The Wedding Singer for Hairspray recommendations. We're pulling back the curtain on songs that excite, challenge, and inspire while still embracing our values and putting Character First. Throughout the camp, you'll work with talented directors, vocal coaches, and choreographers to master these dynamic pieces, all leading up to a spectacular showcase where we celebrate the boldness and brilliance of musical theatre. A full week of acting, singing, dancing, and having big fun this summer! So if you've ever dreamed of singing that show-stopping solo from a musical you thought you'd never get the chance to perform — this is your moment. Join us, and let's make some magic on stage with our summer program “Songs From Shows That We Will Probably Never Put On Stage!”
