At the Stagelight Summer Camps (mostly for K - 12th graders, though this summer we have 1 preschool camp option), your child will have the opportunity to put on either a musical showcase in one week’s time or a full musical show in two week’s time or four week’s time, all while receiving professional training in acting, singing, and dancing. At the end of the camp, they'll perform for you and your family. And you'll go out for ice cream afterwards to make your child feel better about the fact that camp is over...because they are literally going to have THAT much fun. THIS SUMMER, WE OFFER CAMPS AT THREE LOCATIONS: TWO LOCATIONS in Chester Springs AND ONE LOCATION in West Chester!
Below are the "nuts and bolts" of all Stagelight options. Please contact us if you have questions!
Before I read all about it, I need to know: How much is it?
Basically, one-week half-day camps are $175 and two weeks of full-day or four weeks of half-day Stagelight Summer Camp is $590 (less than $10/hr).
Various options are available so your child can join us for one week, two weeks, four weeks, or all summer long!
If your child is in Grades 9 - 12 and would like to have the opportunity to be an Intern, they will learn how to be a camp counselor/mentor, as well as backstage crew. These are excellent resume building opportunities for them. They do not need to register for those camps if they are just going to be an intern...they just need to email cbarnett@saltpa.com to let us know of their interest in being an intern.
What ages can participate?
We have many camp offerings for Grades K-12 (we split kids up into age groups). If the camp is specific to Grades K-8, there are intern positions available for high school students.
We will take 10% off of the total order if you are registering more than one child from the same family.
Type in the promo code siblings for this discount.
What are the dates?
The sessions run from June 17 through August 16, 2024.
We take off the week of July 1-5, 2024 (for the staff to have off a week).

Is each week of the Stagelight Summer Camps the same or can my child do all of them?
Each session will put on a different show, so your child could (and should) absolutely do all 8 weeks!
If my child is at Stagelight for a FULL DAY on any of the weeks, do they eat lunch?
Yes! You would send them with a bagged lunch, and we would stick it in the fridge. They would have a supervised lunch break at NOON each day. **We are a nut-free camp!**
When are the performances and who can come?
The performances for our one-week and two-week camps always take place on Fridays. Times are listed under each camp description. Tickets are available for purchase for $10 each. For some camps, tickets will be limited based on the number of campers. We will specify in an email the preferred number of tickets each family can obtain.
Four-week Camp performances will be on the weekend of Aug 8-10. Tickets will be on sale for $15 each.
Where is Stagelight?
2023 Summer Stagelight Theatre Camps are taking place in THREE locations: Chester Springs at SALT Performing Arts (1645 Art School Road, 19425), Chester Springs at Montgomery School (1141 Kimberton Rd, Chester Springs, 19425), and West Chester at SALT Performing Arts (19 Hagerty Blvd, Unit 14, 19382).
How are Stagelight Summer Camps structured?
For the Stagelight Summer Camps, we want your child to get a full theatrical showcase experience in 1, 2, or 4 week’s time…from auditions, to rehearsals, to performance. Each day, your child will begin in a large group session with all other participants. They will then be split up into smaller groups to go through 3 different sessions: acting, singing, and dancing. As they do so, they will be putting together a show that will be performed at the end of each camp.
Who will be teaching my child all week?
We have professionally trained, experienced artists in the realms of acting, dancing, and singing who will be guiding and training your child through the different camps. All of our educators go through a thorough background and reference check, and your child will ALWAYS be in a room with at least 2 adults. Safety is of utmost importance to us.
I would love to give the gift of Stagelight to someone else! Do you have gift certificates available?
Why, yes we do! Gift certificates for any of our programs are available in any amount. Please email Bethanie at: info@saltpa.com to place your gift certificate order.
REFUND/CANCELLATION POLICY: We offer a 100% refund if registration is cancelled at least one week prior to camp starting. We offer a 50% refund if registration is cancelled within one week prior to the first day of camp. We do not offer refunds once camp has begun.
