Camp StarPower is a two-week camp where campers create, write, and perform in an original musical production that they develop. Our focus is to advance our campers’ creative talents and performing arts skills through the process of developing an original work of art through a specialized and empowering experience. This is the camp for you if you want to be part of an original production powered by our stars.
We do not swim at Camp StarPower however we might on Carnival Day! We are too busy creating, writing, acting, singing and dancing. Campers can use the pool daily after camp or during the weekends!
Our specialty staff is made up of theater professionals, from DFW to Broadway, ready to ensure our campers shine from the inside out.

We infuse youth empowerment and mindfulness into our arts curriculum. In addition to providing a top-notch performing arts education, we teach children the importance of self-love, kindness, and gratitude by creating an empowerment and personal development toolbox that builds confidence and 21st-century life skills.
To introduce children to the art of creative collaboration while helping them rise up to their personal greatness using the arts as our vehicle.
Yes, unless a camper is ill. Collaboration is a team effort. Rehearsing for the final performance is a team effort as well, and we need everyone present to be set up for success.
No, we are busy creating and inspiring our inner artists.
Camp StarPower has a lot more creative freedom, creative thinking and writing as we are developing an original piece of art rather than putting on an existing work of art. Camp StarPower is very much about the creative process and working together to refine our collective ideas and develop an original production. The roadmap is more organic. We still however learn and participate in daily dance, acting and voice workshops to refine our skills.
