Now in its 20th summer, KYT has proven to be an exceptional summer theater experience for kids and youth, offering a challenging, yet fun, educational program for grades 1st-High School. Campers, under the direction of staff, guest teaching artists, and student assistants, participate in theater, art, music and movement focused around a common theme and final production or showcase. Along with building skills in the arts, students learn to trust their imagination, work as part of a team, increase self confidence, and experience the joy and excitement that comes from creating! Kaleidoscope will host one workshop and three different camp options running from a low-key, process based exploration camp experience to two action -packed production camps! We are currently in the process of moving, so stick with us. Please check below for camp locations!
Please send camp deposit with Registration Form.

Do YOU have what it takes
to be a KYT Summer Intern?
Kaleidoscope Player's Intern Intensive

Internship Candidates: Grades Completing 7th - High School Graduate
Daily Schedule: M-F 9:00-5:00 pm, OR as collaboratively determined
Intern Applications due Friday, April 26
The Kaleidoscope Summer Players’ Intern Intensive provides students serious about their acting path an opportunity to hone their theater techniques in workshop settings, learn teaching and leadership strategies, and expand mentorship skills to be used in their roles as teaching assistants during KYT summer camps. Interns may also become cast members - rehearsing and performing with camp participants, and for the 2019 summer, touring with the summer Players’ production.
All Summer Interns must have been involved in current school year classes and at least two (2) Players' shows* and also be enrolled in at least one age appropriate KYT summer camp experience.
*May be waived at Director's discretion.
Although we love to encourage all students who would like to become mentors, completion of an Intern Application and fulfillment of criteria DOES NOT mean an applicant automatically will participate. Interns are selected by KYT summer staff to compliment summer teaching staff.
