About the GBTC Virtual Online Theatre Camps

What Parents Are Saying About our Virtual Camps

Our virtual camps are underway; here are some of the things parents have told us about our first week (July 6-10):

"I've never seen my daughter sit for over an hour on Zoom and be engaged ... She was totally engaged! She told me she wishes there were three sessions a day. ;)"

"Thank you for organizing the virtual theatre camp this summer. My daughter ... enjoyed it. I thought that it was very well organized, and the facilitation was excellent."

"My son loves it."

"Thank you for this wonderful camp, my son had so much fun! His instructors were fantastic. I am so glad he was able to participate. The performance this afternoon was wonderful, he was very excited afterwards :)"

"Thanks for a great week! My daughter, Sara, absolutely loved every second. She just asked me if we could do it for a whole month! We have some other things planned this summer but definitely I will sign her up for another week. She got so much out of it and I’ve told every mom I know about it. Thanks so much again."

Join in and find out why families are so pleased with the program we are presenting this summer ! It's amazingly creative, and we are very proud of it. Since making the transition to online camps, we've been building a virtual world of skill-building and fun.

It's an innovative Online Summer and March Break Drama Camps program with a variety of fun and interactive activities for kids and young people age 6-14. We'll be sharing collaborative and engaging drama games, improvisations, art projects, plays and scenes, along with lots of music, mixed in with fun movement activities and dance parties.

GBTC brings many years of experience with drama for kids to the development of this exciting new virtual program in the Zoom environment.

You don't want to miss this opportunity to join us for a week (or more !) of inspired fun.

A camp week consists of two 75-minute participatory sessions each day, Monday to Friday, in which coaches will share movement games as well as storytelling and playwriting along with music, poems and fun raps.

The camp will provide an energized and focused experience which allows campers to interact and make friends online. All of our staff have arts experience and experience working with children, and are trained to work with our new agenda and curriculum.

During our 'break-out room' periods each camper will have the opportunity to meet with other campers in smaller groups to create their own dramatic improvisations and engage in theatre games; they will then be able to share their work with the larger camp group.

Campers will make use of creative shared tools in the online environment to develop their visual art skills online through projects related to their dramatic scenes.

At the end of the week, they will be able to share an online show with parents and friends.

We welcome to this program students from anywhere in Canada ! Since there is no physical camp location, and the activities take place at your home, you can join in wherever you are.

Our GBTC staff are looking forward to sharing this WHOLE NEW WORLD with you this summer !

Campers may register for multiple camp weeks; there will be new and different camp content each week.
