What to Expect

Each week-long session is thoughtfully designed to engage children in activities that combine storytelling with movement. Campers will enjoy:

  • Playing games
  • Creating crafts
  • Exploring obstacle courses
  • Learning new dance moves

The week culminates in a studio show-and-tell for family and friends on the final day of camp.

It’s the perfect opportunity for your child to:

  • Make new friends
  • Discover the joy of dance
  • Build confidence in a playful setting

Tips for Camp with Charlotte Ballet

  • Campers are grouped by age, but siblings can choose to stay together.
  • No need for dance shoes or special attire – just send your child in comfortable clothes they can move and play in.
  • Don’t forget to pack a water bottle (water only) and snacks (no nuts, please) to keep energy levels high all morning!
