StarPower 2023

StarPower 2023

That’s a Wrap! What an amazing StarPower experience we had this summer! Our campers were fantastic! Collectively we set a creative vision, established goals, worked hard, and played even harder! We couldn’t be prouder of their accomplishments as an artist, playwright, songwriter, and a performer. All 31 of our campers collaborated to create an original musical production! AMAZING! Our final week at StarPower was spent doing all sorts of amazing, fun awesomeness! We rehearsed hard and put the final touches on our spectacular performance.

Finding Inner Balance Through Our Senses

Finding Inner Balance Through Our Senses As a musical theater actor, you are constantly in motion. Whether it’s taking direction, moving to a specific spot-on stage, saying your lines, or singing with the ensemble, actors are always in motion. This week we worked on inner balance, teamwork, and self-love, so that “constant motion” is attainable. Throughout all our speciality activities, acting, voice and dance, and our daily meditation moments, we worked on honing our skills, perking up our senses, and opening ourselves up to our potential and to others! Here's the Inside Scoop The third week of camp is a complete “get grounded” week! Our campers worked on growing their “The SpongeBob Musical” characters while memorizing their lines, blocking, music, and choreography! To complement their hard work, tons of fun was enjoyed through our Camper/Counselor Day, Counselor talent show, READ MORE

StarQuest Rocked It

StarQuest Rocked It

StarQuest Rocked It! Unbelievable! What an amazing summer we had! In four short weeks, camp StarQuest became a home away from home… a place where our campers transformed into rockin’ StarQuest Super Stars! The last week of camp was action packed! Not only did they perform an incredible production of High School Musical Jr., but they also brought the spirit and battled it out in "true camper" style for our Battle of the Stars 2022 color war/Maccabi. Upon announcement of our winning team this year, Hollywood Red, we all congratulated each other for the camaraderie, artistry, creativity and fun! As always, at StarQuest we concluded with our traditional Battle of the Starts Song Fest, award ceremony, closing appreciation circle, cookies, hugs, tears and so much love! At Camp StarQuest, we have been honored to have the opportunity to know your kids, watch their creativity soar and their minds grow. READ MORE
