Enrollment is now open for Whitefish Theatre Co.’s Summer Performance Camps.

WTC is offering programs for five age groups, including kindergarten, first and second grades, third through sixth grades, sixth through ninth grades, and seventh through 11th grades. Theatre camps at WTC offer tools that promote self confidence in a supportive, creative and dynamic environment. All camps culminate in a short 15-25 minute demonstration for family and friends on the last day of the class.

Camps include:
