About Our Camps

Join us this summer for exciting week-long CYT musical theater day camps where students ages 5–12 grow as performers and as people. Throughout the week, campers build skills in singing, dancing, and acting through engaging workshops, creative games, and guided rehearsals led by our well-trained and encouraging staff.

Whether your child is brand new to the stage or already loves the spotlight, they will be challenged, supported, and celebrated in a fun and positive environment that includes theme days, a daily theme-related devotional, and an impressive concluding showcase for family and friends. Friendships are formed, confidence grows, and every day is filled with music, movement, and laughter at CYT Chicago summer camp!

Day Camps

CYT Chicago Musical Theater Summer Day Camp is one of the most affordable quality musical theater camps in the area, and we offer two themes for day camps.

In each themed week, campers ages 5-12 rotate through theater workshops including dance, drama, and voice, play exciting theater games, participate in showcase rehearsal, make life-long friends and more! Campers will present a 30-minute musical theater variety showcase on the last afternoon of camp.
