Join us for Scamp Camp 2026!

Join us as we uncover what makes a compelling hero!

Travel with us through forgotten lands as we cross a new threshold, meet new friends, seize a reward, and maybe even vanquish a monster while we’re at it! We’re diving into the Hero’s Journey, exploring how it plays a pivotal role in media we see today, and discovering what makes a journey heroic. This camp will explore heroes through the ages. Scamps will meet classic heroes from Greek theatre all the way to heroes they know and love today, we might even meet some unsuspecting heroes along the way. Join The Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre this summer for our 2026 Scamp Camp: Heroes & Hijinks!

The Scoundrel & Scamp's four-week youth theatre camp during the month of June is designed to be accessible as either a modular two-week session or a month-long deep dive into stories, tales, and imagination. Scamps can easily participate in one or both sessions!

Please note that, unlike previous summers, you will need to register for each session individually if you would like to register for the full month.

Heroes & Hijinks: Session 1

June 1 - 12, 2026

Scamps will learn the makings of a hero’s journey and create their own devised scenes to present to their friends and family on June 12th, followed by a “cast party” for campers and their families

Heroes and Hijinks: Session 2

June 15 - 26, 2025

Scamps will move from creating their own plays to working on a scripted play, directed by Zac Austin. Scamps will put into practice all the skills and knowledge they have learned this summer (or this session) into this production. This session will culminate in a production for friends and family on June 26th followed by a “cast party” for campers and their families.
