Everyone's part is integral to the success of our shows, and we stress the importance of TEAM WORK. Beyond all the learning, we want theatre campers to walk away feeling confident, successful, and with some new friends!
Summer Theatre Camps- In a REAL Theatre!
STAY TUNED- 2025 Camp details will be announced in December, and registration opens in January!
Two-week theatre camp sessions filled with musical theatre, creativity, friends, and fun! Your child will get in the car at the end of every day at ARTSies Camp with big bright smiles, and stories of JOY to share! You won’t believe how much they learn in a very short time (be prepared to hear lots of singing at home)! Register early because there are limited spots in each age group.
Each session culminates in a different, fully staged musical production, with each camper performing their own special part. Lights, costumes, sets, singing, acting, dancing… a true theatre experience! Each show offers a unique story, new characters, music, and learning experiences, so feel free to join us for more than one!
Family and friends are invited to join us at the end of the two week session for a LIVE SHOW! There’s no charge for entry, and we have over 626 seats in our theatre, so bring your whole fan club!

Your favorite practically perfect nanny takes center stage in this Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious adventure based on the award-winning Broadway musical and classic Walt Disney film.
The jack-of-all trades, Bert, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family members how to value each other again. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren't the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that "Anything can happen if you let it."
Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's Mary Poppins JR. is an enchanting mixture of irresistible story, unforgettable songs and exciting dance numbers!
Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).

Journey "under the sea" with Ariel and her aquatic friends in Disney's The Little Mermaid JR., adapted from Disney's Broadway production and the motion picture (featuring the enormously popular Academy Award-winning music and delightfully charming book and lyrics). Based on one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories, Disney's The Little Mermaid JR. is an enchanting look at the sacrifices we all make for love and acceptance.
In a magical underwater kingdom, the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, longs to leave her ocean home — and her fins — behind and live in the world above. But first, she'll have to defy her father, King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince the handsome Prince Eric that she's the girl whose enchanting voice he's been seeking.
Performers will have a blast with this fun, familiar music!
Presented through special arrangement with Musical Theatre International (MTI).

Explore the big blue world with this lively new stage musical based on the beloved Pixar film! With new music by award-winning songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.
Marlin, an anxious and over-protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his kid Nemo, who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves.
Featuring memorable songs such as “Just Keep Swimming,” and “Fish Are Friends Not Food,” Finding Nemo JR. brings a vibrant underwater world to life on stage in a story full of family, friendship, and adventure!

New This Year!
Over the years many of our long-time campers have grown with us, and now that they’re Teens, we want to give them a specialized camp experience with peers their own age (Senior campers ages 11-16).
To ensure that everyone can get a part that’s appropriate for their age and abilities, we’re separating our Senior campers to do their own version of “The Little Mermaid JR.”! This show will take place on the last Friday of the camp session. Mini, Junior, and Intermediate campers will still perform on the 2nd Thursday of the session.
“Mary Poppins JR.” and “Finding Nemo Jr” are huge scripts, with lots of opportunities for our oldest campers as well, so for these shows all four camp groups will be combined in one Thursday evening performance.
Bus Service
We’re excited to work with Landmark Bus Lines to deliver safe, fun, and efficient transportation to and from theatre camp for our families in Markham, Thornhill, Richmond Hill, and surrounding areas!
Volunteers
Volunteering with us means developing skills in arts education, theatre direction, and backstage management. We can only take 2-3 volunteers per camp session. Please see the details and apply below!
