Perry-Mansfield

Located in Steamboat Spring, Colorado, Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School offers dance, theater, and equestrian camps. All Perry-Mansfields programs require an audition for admission, and students also complete a placement audition shortly after arrival to determine their best fit within the program. Their mission is to nurture a love of the arts in a setting that encourages students to explore their interests and take risks.

They offer three main programs separated by age groups, 10-12, 12-16, and 15-18. Besides daily theater classes, kids and teens can also choose electives that complement their learning. In addition, they will partake in routine rehearsals and performances. The classes consist of those of their choosing, including subjects like songwriting, musical theater, equestrian arts, and more. The Pre-Professional Intensive for older students finishes with a full-on performance under the guidance of industry professionals.

No phones are allowed on campus so kids can get away from technology. The camp faculty possess a mix of broadway and Hollywood experience, with many also teaching at universities.
