About
Camp Shakespeare gives students the chance to transform into Shakespeare’s characters through voice, movement, and imagination, and to explore improvisation and scenes from plays. A typical day includes team building activities and warm-ups, voice and movement instruction, acting class, text analysis, and training in the art of safe stage combat, with the rest of the afternoon dedicated to applying what has been learned in rehearsal. Campers also take part in group activities such as games, age-appropriate movies, and art projects, and may choose to spend that time reading, drawing, or playing games brought from home, and they perform for friends and family on the final day of camp.
• Ages: 6–18 years old
• Schedule: Camp Shakespeare offers two-week sessions for youth (ages 6–11) and teens (ages 12–18), a three-week Summer Intensive for returning teens, one-week and two-week camps at McLean Community Center, and a Spring Break Camp for youth.

Every summer, Shakespeare Theatre Company offers Camp Shakespeare to students between the ages of 6 and 18 to dive into the world of William Shakespeare. The program states that it provides a safe and supportive environment for everyone regardless of ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, cultural background, national origin, citizenship, faith, ideology, and income, and that it endeavors to create a fully inclusive culture that values equality and fosters respect while participants collaborate to explore and perform Shakespeare’s plays. Returning teens can audition for the Summer Intensive, which invites returning students to experience an actor’s journey from audition to performance, with ensembles producing fully realized productions that culminate in three public performances; acceptance into the Summer Intensive is through auditions held in April, and Summer Intensive 2026 is for ages 13–18 by audition only.
