Texas Arts Project

Overview

Texas Arts Project is indeed one of the more prestigious summer arts programs/camps you might want to consider for your child. The Saint Stephen's Episcopal School runs the program in Austin, Texas. There are two different kinds of summer camps specifically designed to accommodate children of varying age groups.

Junior sleep-away Camps, for ages 9 – 13, focus on singing, act­ing and danc­ing. Structured class­es com­bined with an intense rehearsal process and a lot of fun, make the Junior Camp a won­der­ful expe­ri­ence for the young artist. Broadway style songs and dances are rehearsed and per­formed at the end of the session.

Texas Arts Project strives to cre­ate the “com­plete artist.” Junior Campers get a taste of singing, act­ing, and danc­ing. Senior Campers choose a “major” field of study, and have oppor­tu­ni­ties to engage in cours­es and activ­i­ties in all oth­er majors. There is an expec­ta­tion that all campers try new things as they strength­en the skills in their com­fort area and learn to enjoy expand­ing their hori­zons in all oth­er areas. Individual atten­tion along with high expec­ta­tions for the group encour­age per­son­al respon­si­bil­i­ty and teamwork.
