About
Dragonfly Theatre Arts Camp focuses on musical theater and includes singing, dancing, acting, set creation, and costume creation. Campers take part in putting on a complete show, from auditions to a final performance, and complete this process in 6 days. The camp is a nut-free and device-free program, and images, testimonials, photos, video, and audio taken at or in connection with Dragonfly Theatre Arts Camp are the exclusive property of Dragonfly Theatre Arts Camp and its parent company, Chaska Valley Family Theatre.

Campers may be dropped off as early as 8:50 AM and must be picked up by 4:15 PM, with late fees charged after that time.
