Our camps are week-long, day camps running from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday.

Camps run Monday through Thursday on a daily schedule: Drop-off is from 8:30–9:00 AM, followed by a morning meeting at 9:00 AM. Campers rotate through content areas (Stagecraft, Costumes, Dance, Music, Acting) from 9:15 AM–4:30 PM, with scheduled snack breaks and lunch. Pick-up is from 4:30–5:30 PM and includes snack and exit activities.

Fridays operate at an alternative location (often the Riffe Center Theatres), with details to be announced. Drop-off is from 8:30–9:00 AM. Each Friday culminates with a special Share Day presentation for families, typically beginning around 3:00 PM.

The age range varies by week, but in general, camps are open to children ages 5–15.

If you would like your child to be grouped with a friend or relative, please provide the first and last name of the other participant.

Group placements are determined by age and are dependent on the number of registrations. While we will do our best to honor requests, we cannot guarantee placement.

Please note that both participants must request each other for the grouping to be considered.

Requests can be added in the registration checkout form or emailed to education@columbuschildrenstheatre.org

Yes! Every Friday features a Share Day presentation in the afternoon, where family and friends are invited to see campers share excerpts and highlights of the skills they've learned during the week.

All camps take place at CCT Studios, 177 E Naghten St, Columbus, OH 43215.

Themes change weekly and can be found on our website. All camps use the Theatre360 model, ensuring every participant gets hands-on experience in Acting, Dance, Costumes, Stagecraft, and Music, regardless of theme.

Snacks and lunch are not provided. Please pack a nut-free lunch and snacks each day for your camper.

Summer staff maintains a 1:8–10 ratio. All staff are First Aid and CPR certified and have passed background checks. Five full-time CCT administrators are also on site.

For the safety of all campers, CCT keeps all exterior doors locked during camp hours. Visitors must check in at the front office to be granted entry.

At pick-up and drop-off, only individuals listed on the camper’s pre-approved pick-up list (submitted with registration forms) will be permitted to collect a camper. A valid photo ID or CCT pick-up pass (issued at check-in) is required for pick-up each day.
