Registration for virtual Performing Arts Camp – Note from the Camp Director
I would like to share some information with you about 4-H Performing Arts Camp. Performing
Arts is a theater education camp for ages 13-18 by January 1st, or have completed the 7th grade. Campers will learn the lyrics, dances, and a full script to create an hour-long variety show that they will perform five times at the South Dakota State Fair. Although singing, dancing and acting is the main focus of this camp, we have found that the leadership skills and friendships made during camp are what really makes this program great. This year, we are having camp virtually from June 14-19. The deadline to register is May 31.
We are trying to promote our program and would love to get the word out about Performing Arts Camp as much as possible. If you could share our registration link on your Facebook page and let your 4-H kids know about us, we would greatly appreciate it! You could also share one of our posts from the South Dakota 4-H Performing Arts page.
