Registration for our 2011 Summer Camps will be available on this page in January 2011. Watch for it ! Early registration discounts will be in effect.


GBTC offers day camp programs during July and August.
The program includes plays, mime, improvisation, theatre games, musical theatre,
work with simple sets and costumes, and an end-of-week public performance.
Also included are outdoor activities, swimming (at selected locations), games and sports.
GBTC emphasizes basic skills, appropriate to each individual age level, in areas such as voice,
movement, working with scripts, clear speech, expressing emotions, and developing character;
we also work to encourage participation and develop confidence. We offer a low ratio (between 7:1 and 8:1) of
campers to staff, so that each camper gets sufficient individualized attention. In addition, each age group
prepares its own segment of the end-of-week performance, so that everyone participates
equally, as much as possible.
The camp is a great way to meet new friends, learn new skills, and try out new tricks !
GBTC's theatre camps are designed to spark the interest of young people who want to act out
interesting character roles, and more ! They'll act, sing, dance and participate in stagecraft
and theatre games. There's something for everyone, and enough variety to keep campers interested,
attentive and involved for the full day. Imaginations will soar to meet each new creative challenge.
The Friday end-of-week shows are exciting and intense, focusing all of the campers' acquired skills
and dynamic energy to be shared with family and friends, in a fun setting that highlights each camper's
talents and abilities. The confidence gained is something the kids retain long after the last day of
camp.
GBTC's enthusiastic, caring staff create a warm, supportive environment where campers
will feel at home, and be ready to explore and discover. At the end of the day, each and every camper
leaves with the joy of participation, and a sense of belonging and accomplishment.
