ETC! Arts Camp

ETC! Educational Theatre for Children is a not-for-profit group dedicated to providing a quality fine arts theatre program for school aged children. Our experienced staff has been working together since 1996, promoting live theatre and providing a positive theatre camp experience for over 2,000 students in the tri-county area of DeKalb, LaSalle and Kendall Counties in Illinois. 

The main focus of our group is to teach the many different aspects of live stage productions to children in grades 1 through 12.  Primary instruction is provided by certified teachers in art, music, and dance. Also included in the camp are basic technical (lighting / sound) instruction, stage presence techniques and theatre games. The camp is very family friendly with a "hands on" policy to involve all the students in every aspect of putting on a show. The students are grouped by age or grade with each level having their own performances the final weekend of camp. Classes are kept small, so each student will be able to "shine". The end result of their weeks at camp will be a quality stage performances that the students are proud to share with their families and the general public.
