Food will NOT be provided. All students are asked to bring a bagged lunch/snacks with beverages water and sports drinks are best . Soda and Juice are not allowed

How does Summer Theatre Camp handle casting?
At NHAOPA we feel there are "no small parts only small actors". Each and every person is important to the success of our show! Each child will have the opportunity to audition for our casting directors.Some young actors are anxious to play the lead role, and some are happy to have a smaller part.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: Holiday Recreation Center—Summer never felt so good. (And maybe even spring and autumn too!) Three generations of central Connecticut families have come to trust us – to mentor their children, to ensure both physical and emotional safety, and to impart valuable life skills – all while kids are having the summer time of their lives. So, why not do similar things for families and adult groups in Mansfield Center, Storrs, Willimantic, Manchester and the surrounding areas? That commitment has created the addition of: • group picnics and outings • pool memberships • our challenge course Any given weekend can include: • a wedding or reunion • a corporate teambuilding event • a lot of family bonding around our pool. During spring and autumn, we can handle groups any day of the week.
OTHER CAMP INFO: Our superlative and totally dedicated counselors join campers in creating a true summer family in an environment rich in safety, comfort, acceptance and FUN! We begin with all the physical skills and challenges everyone expects at camp. Then we go beyond the obvious and emphasize the social, emotional and psychological growth of our campers with activities that create a spiral of successes. Each child is an important person, sharing in the democratic process of the whole group. Each day is a chance for campers to learn to appreciate each other and to appreciate our environment. We encourage campers to take responsibility for themselves and their actions, and to feel good about themselves. Every camper takes home a smile and life-long memories, plus new skills and new friendships.

And each summer, the joy of reuniting with counselors and old friends is one of life's greatest rewards. Kids simply love Camp Hazen, and whether it is their first time or they are a lifelong Hazenite, campers find that they belong here more than any other place in the world.
Camp Hazen has more than 90 years of making summers memorable for kids. One of the reasons for this long-term success is the firm belief in maintaining the traditions and values that make campers want to come back year after year.

Please note the swim level that you last completed. Also, give some thought to the essay question and why you want to be in the program.Send a resume if possible.
Based on your application, we will evaluate whether or not we feel you will be a good candidate for our program and an interview may be scheduled. The closing date for applying for this program is Wednesday, February 26, 2014. Interviews will only be held on Saturday March 1, 2014.
