Acting Adventures: The Case of the Cursed Theatre | Summer 2026

Campers become theatrical detectives in this mystery-themed acting week. With guidance from professional theater artists, the group creates clues, cracks codes, invents original characters, and designs a setting while developing its own short story about strange happenings inside a theater.

The finished mystery becomes a final performance for family and friends in the Pritzker Family Studio Theatre. Free before-care runs from 8:30–9 a.m., and free after-care is offered from 3:30–5 p.m. This camp is currently accepting waitlist submissions rather than direct registrations.
