Camp StarPower is a two-week camp where campers create, write, and perform in an original musical production they develop together. Focused on advancing creative talents and performing arts skills, the camp provides a specialized and empowering experience that exposes campers to the art of collaboration and the behind-the-scenes process of bringing an original theatrical work to life. This is the camp for you if you want to be part of a truly unique 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. Campers will proudly take the stage in our Zale Auditorium featuring their original production with creative elements that bring the show to life – an unforgettable experience for family and friends.

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.
