Camp Shakespeare

Camp Shakespeare provides an immersive summer theatre program designed for children and teens aged 5 to 18, focused on exploring the dramatic arts through the lens of Shakespeare’s timeless works. Participants engage in imaginative activities including acting, storytelling, creative arts, and physical expression to build skills in voice, movement, and textual analysis. The camp is organized into specialized age groups that attend sessions lasting from one up to five weeks, with final performances to display their artistic work. Each session is carefully structured to nurture confidence and teamwork, preparing young actors for public performance. Located in Louisville, Kentucky, the camp operates weekdays during June and July, except on federal holidays, offering a range of options tailored to beginner and experienced actors. It’s led by creative professionals, with limited enrollment to ensure personalized instruction. This enriching environment helps foster a love for theatre and enriches campers’ appreciation for Shakespearean drama.
