Founded in 1995, Camp Broadway states that its mission is to make theatre arts an accessible and relevant vehicle for creative children to build confidence, hone presentation skills, and discover their unique talents at every stage of their lives. A staff of experienced Broadway performers, directors, choreographers, writers, composers, and designers teach all programs. Camp Broadway has been recognized as New York’s official destination for theater-loving kids, as Broadway’s “original” summer camp, and as a leader in audience engagement and a trusted source for year-round youth enrichment programs, experiential events, and educational workshops.

Camp Broadway reports that nearly 50,000 children from around the world have attended its annual musical theater camp on Broadway or at partner theaters in multiple U.S. cities. The company has received a Special Drama Desk Award for “introducing young people to the magic of theater and for playing a crucial role in creating tomorrow’s audiences,” has been honored for excellence by the Educational Theatre Association, recognized for its professionalism by the Greater New York Chamber of Commerce, and celebrated for its positive social impact on the community by Best of New York. Camp Broadway has produced special appearances by the Camp Broadway Kids at premier entertainment venues and has been instrumental in developing the National High School Musical Theatre Awards (The Jimmy Awards), serving as lead producer of The Roger Rees Awards for Excellence in Student Performance and launching StageNotes, a study guide series based on Broadway shows.

Camp Broadway has implemented custom student outreach programs for artist estates, Broadway productions, and civic organizations, including “The Camp Broadway Challenge for Nothing But Nets” for the United Nations Foundation, “The Pride Rock Project” for Disney Theatrical Productions, “Stages for Learning” for Dodger Theatrical Productions, “On With the Show” for Bravo Television Network, “Adventure Ocean” for Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, “Accentuate The Positive” for The Johnny Mercer Foundation, “The Getting To Know You Series” for Rodgers & Hammerstein, and “Future Stages” for Fidelity.

Parent reviews describe campers being very busy, making new friends from around the country and other countries, and participating in a final-day show with choreography, songs, and acting. Multiple parents mention that their children attended Camp Broadway for the first time, interacted with professional and welcoming staff, and expressed interest in returning the following year. Reviews also note that Camp Broadway provides information for parents about the theater industry, uses industry connections to create a learning experience, and that counselors were described as kind and supportive to campers with different levels of prior experience.
