Summer at Boys & Girls Club


Summer Arts Spectacular

Lights, camera, action! We are back at the Parish Theater this year to help our participants explore the exciting world of theatre with the support of Kalamazoo Civic Theatre staff! Give your child the spotlight they deserve this summer at our Summer Arts Camp. It's more than just a camp—it's an opportunity for your young star to shine bright on stage, make lifelong friends, and build confidence that will last a lifetime! Contact Marlin at marline@bgckalamazoo.org or 269-349-4485 with any questions.

Additional Program Details:

  • Program registration is FREE.

  • Camp will take place Monday - Thursday at The Parish Theatre, 426 S. Park Street, starting June 10 - August 15 with a final showcase on Friday, August 16.

Summer Arts Spectacular Requirements:

  • Youth must be 8-15 years old to participate.

Attendance Policy:

If your child is going to be absent from the Summer Arts Spectacular, please contact the Boys & Girls Club to inform us of the absence. Be aware that if your child incurs 10 or more absences, they will automatically be dropped from the program. The attendance policy is in place to ensure that all youth have ample time to learn and rehearse for the showcase at the end of the program. Due to limited space, Boys & Girls Club asks that you do not enroll in Summer Arts Spectacular if you intend to enroll your child in other summer-long programs. [i.e. Summer School].
