About this camp
Synetic Theater's summer camp in Arlington, Virginia introduces young artists ages 7 to 13 to the company's signature physical-theater style, and no previous experience is required. Through dance, pantomime, stage movement, ensemble games, and world-building activities, campers learn to tell stories with their bodies, voices, and imaginations while building confidence, collaboration skills, and creative problem-solving. Ten week-long sessions are offered each summer, and each is built around a single fairytale theme drawn from a rotating set of three stories, so returning campers encounter new characters and a fresh showcase each week. Every session ends with a showcase of the campers' original work for family and friends. Synetic also runs a separate three-week Teen Conservatory, a full-day pre-professional intensive culminating in a revue of Synetic Shakespeare scenes.
Ten week-long summer camp sessions for ages 7-13, each built on a single fairytale theme rotating among three stories, so repeat campers get new material each week. A separate three-week, full-day Synetic Teen Conservatory is offered for teens.
