Camps
Stories They’ll Love. Memories You’ll Cherish.
CONFIDENCE THEY’LL CARRY FOREVER.
Welcome back to a summer of creating, playing, learning, and fun! With 56 camps for ages 4 through high school, held at 10 community stages and spaces, there truly is a place for every child at GREAT. Whether your child dreams of the spotlight or is just beginning to find their voice, our camps are designed to meet them exactly where they are.
From playful, imagination-filled experiences for our youngest performers to skill-building intensives for teens ready to stretch and grow, each camp is thoughtfully crafted to support every level of experience. Seasoned performers sharpen their craft, gain confidence, and take on new challenges. First-time participants are welcomed into a supportive environment where they can try something new, make friends, and discover strengths they didn’t know they had.
At GREAT, it’s not just about putting on a show. It’s about building confidence, creativity, teamwork, and a true sense of belonging — on stage and beyond.

Pick-Your-Price Registration!
Our full registration fee represents the amount that it costs GREAT to bring theatre camps to our community. To make sure that every student has access to the transformative power of theatre camp, we offer a pick-your-price registration option that is available to each and every family. Scholarships are confidential and available for every camp, in every location, every week in limited quantities.
- You’ll be asked to fill out the pick-your-price scholarship form indicating your top three camp choices (specific camp, week, and location)
- Requests will be processed starting Feb 25th. Thereafter, please allow 3 business days for your request to be processed.
- You’ll receive a confirmation of your registration along with a link to make your payment online.
- Recipients make some payment towards the class, but the amount is up to the individual family.
- Payments must be received at least two weeks prior to when the camp begins.
- Pick-Your-Price registration option does not apply to camps you have already registered and paid for.
- There is a limit of one (1) pick-your-price registration per camper.
Cancellation, Refund, & Transfer Policy
- There is a 20% administrative fee for cancellations; must give 2 weeks advance notice.
- There are no refunds for cancellations made within 2 weeks of the start of camp.
- Students may transfer camp sessions (based on availability) 2+ weeks before a class begins. Class transfers requested less than two weeks before a class begins may not be accommodated. If camp registration fees are not equal, any cost difference must be paid at the time of transfer.
- Refunds will be considered for students with illness.
If GREAT cancels a camp for ANY reason prior to the camp starting, you may join a different class or receive a full refund.
We will follow all current CDC and MDH guidelines regarding decisions for how camp proceeds if there are positive tests or potential exposures of communicable diseases. In the event of a cancellation or exposure you will be alerted via text and email. In the event of a case within a camp that requires it to be cancelled, a prorated refund will be issued.
No Tree Nuts / No Peanuts
To ensure the safety of all of our campers, we have a strict no-nut policy for both peanuts and tree-nuts (including hazelnut products such as Nutella).
Electronic Device Policy
To encourage our value of ensemble and relationship building, cellphones and other electronic devices are not to be used during camp (including breaks). If brought to camp, they should be kept on silent and in a bag. GREAT is not responsible for lost, broken, or stolen belongings. Parents are welcome to call GREAT Theatre at 320.258.2787 if they need to contact their student(s).
Pick-Up & Drop-Off
In consideration of our staff members and to ensure safety of all campers, GREAT asks that campers be dropped-off for class no earlier than 10 minutes before camp start time. Campers must be picked-up for class no later than 5 minutes after camp end time. GREAT reserves the right to charge families a fee of $1 per minute for late pick-ups.
Observation
For the safety of all campers – parents, caregivers, family members (including siblings), and friends are not able to observe/sit-in on camp. Our camps and intensives are designed for student participation, and we find that students focus better and participate more fully when family members are not in the room. Family members and friends are welcomed and encouraged to attend the sharing/performance/showcase on the final day of camp!
GREAT Child Safety Policy
It is the policy of the GREAT to ensure all youth are safeguarded from physical, sexual and emotional harm while taking part. GREAT requires that all staff, instructor, volunteer, production staff and other paid or voluntary helpers working with young people follow the following policy set out below.
GREAT Theatre is committed to valuing each young person, irrespective of sex, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, abilities, or background. We are a safe space for all.
Please read our complete Child Safety Policy here.
