PROGRAMS | PERFORMING ARTS

Express yourself in many different
ways on stage at HVC

Theatre Arts

Hidden Valley campers can participate in three theatre productions each session in our well-equipped theatrical stage. At summer drama camp, campers do it all: construct sets, make costumes and assist backstage. Workshop classes in improvisational theater, clowning and juggling round out campers' life on the stage.

Recent Productions

  • Wizard of Oz

  • Shrek

  • A Midsummer Night's Dream

  • Matilda

  • The Lion King

Dance

Experience dance in our spacious studios with professional dance teachers directing all levels of jazz, modern, hip-hop, ballet, and tap. With teachers' guidance, campers also choreograph their own dances.

At the conclusion of each two-week class session, campers participate in lively dance presentations.

Music

Guitar and percussion lessons, songwriting workshops and daily singing opportunities make HVC a community of musicians!

Lay down your track. HVC’s recording studio is home to rock bands who perform for us throughout the summer.

What Families Say

  • When friends ask us about 'that camp up in Maine' they often want to know what kind of camp it is. We tell them that for our son, it’s a sports and art camp, and for our daughter it’s a dance and theater camp. Because kids get to make choices, it’s whatever kind of camp they want to be.

    HVC Parent

  • She is so proud of the play that she wrote. Thanks for nurturing her spirit, her creativity and expanding her awareness of herself out in the world.

    HVC Parent

  • The Valley Fest performances – the way the kids embrace all the other kids regardless of talent – there is no safer place than HVC.

    HVC Parent

  • I then watched as Misha took a jazz dance class and then we both participated in a poetry writing class. We had lunch and then she had play rehearsal. The fun everyone was having was infectious.

    HVC Parent

  • They came home from camp wanting to learn instruments. Lucas took up guitar and Jonah the bass. When they got back to camp they brought their instruments with them and got to perform.

    HVC Parent

  • Watch the kids. Do like they do. Act like they act. Yell like they yell. Dance the ways you see them dance. Sing like they sing. Work and rest the way the kids do… You'll be healthier. You'll feel wealthier. You'll talk wiser, go higher, do better, and live longer here amongst us…

    Woody Guthrie, 1956
