Summer in Rockwall, TX, usually means two things: scorching heat and parents searching for ways to keep their kids entertained (and out of the sun!). If you are looking for things for kids in Rockwall, look no further than the stage. At Rockwall Acting, we turn the summer heat into a creative spotlight.
Our summer schedule is packed with opportunities, including our massive production of The Sound of Music. While we just passed our June 1st audition deadline, the excitement at the studio is just beginning! If your child missed the audition, don't worry: there are still six incredible summer camps and several intensives waiting for them to take center stage.
6 Summer Camps Your Child Will Love
Our weekly summer camps are designed for kids ages 6–12. Each week, students dive into theater games, rehearse musical numbers, and learn choreography, all leading up to a Friday showcase for family and friends.
- Moana Summer Camp: A tropical journey where kids explore the music and heart of Motunui.
- Peter Pan Summer Camp: Fly away to Neverland! This camp focuses on adventurous acting and character work.
- The Lion King Summer Camp: A wild week of ensemble singing and movement inspired by the Pride Lands.
- The Little Mermaid Summer Camp: Dive deep into musical theater with songs "Under the Sea."
- The Wizard of Oz Summer Camp: Follow the yellow brick road to build confidence and stage presence.
- Frozen Summer Camp: A "cool" escape from the Texas heat, focusing on the magic of storytelling and sisterhood.
More Than Just a Performance
While the end-of-week showcase is a highlight, the real magic happens in the classroom. According to the American Camp Association, 92% of campers say that camp helped them feel better about themselves. At Rockwall Acting, we use acting classes and musical theater to build that self-assurance.
Beyond the confidence boost, theater has tangible academic benefits. Research from the American Alliance for Theatre and Education (AATE) shows that students involved in drama programs often have higher standardized test scores and better reading comprehension.
Summer Intensives & Private Lessons
For older students or those looking to sharpen specific skills, we offer Summer Intensives in:
- Improv: Perfect for quick thinking and collaboration.
- Film & TV: A commercial-focused class for the aspiring screen actor.
- Musical Theater: Deep-dive training for the "triple threat."
We also offer Summer Privates for Acting, Dance, and Voice to give your child that one-on-one professional edge.
