Running throughout June and July in Ocala, the camps welcome students from early elementary through high school and include both exploratory drama experiences and a full-scale summer musical production.

This June's three-week-long camps, From Page to Stage and Screen, invite campers to dive into the worlds of beloved stories from literature, Broadway, and film through acting, music, movement, storytelling, design, and hands-on theatrical creation. Weekly themes draw inspiration from adventures and characters familiar to young audiences while encouraging imagination over perfection and participation over pressure.

In July, older campers will take the stage in a three-week performance intensive culminating in Disney's Moana Jr., presented at the Dassance Fine Arts Center at the College of Central Florida.

"Our camps are built around the idea that theatre skills are life skills," said Terry LeCompte. "We want young people to feel safe being imaginative, expressive, collaborative, and bold. Whether a camper dreams of performing professionally or simply needs a place to belong and grow, these programs are designed to help them shine."

Programs are led by experienced teaching artists, musicians, directors, and arts educators - including Terry LeCompte, Greg Doss, and Roberta Smith - whose backgrounds span professional theatre, music education, youth development, and community arts leadership.

Community Stages has become known throughout North Central Florida for its highly interactive and imaginative approach to theatre education, emphasising creativity, belonging, and community connection.

Registration is currently open, though space is limited to maintain small-group instruction and high-quality experiences. More information can be found here .
