Superpowers come in many forms—creativity, imagination, and the courage to try something new. This summer, the Chestnut Center for the Arts invites young heroes to discover their creative powers through our Superhero-themed Art and Theatre Camps.
Explore the magic of the stage through acting, movement, and creative storytelling. Campers will build confidence while learning acting techniques, movement skills, and audition basics, along with fun ensemble activities that encourage teamwork and creativity. Each day brings new superhero activities and theatrical exploration, culminating in a final performance at the end of the second week for family and friends to enjoy. Each theatre camp session explores different activities and skills, and campers may enroll in one session or both.

Calling all young creators! Join us for four afternoons of imagination, color, and creativity at Summer Art Camp. This year’s theme is Superheroes, and students will explore exciting art projects inspired by heroic adventures, bold colors, and big ideas.
Each day, different instructors will guide campers through hands-on projects in a variety of artistic media, offering plenty of surprises and creative discoveries along the way. It’s a fun and welcoming space for kids to experiment, learn new techniques, and bring their own superhero visions to life.
