Confidence. Creativity. Connections.

These are just a few of the positives that families report seeing in their children after attending GREAT Summer Camps.

“The experience we always have with GREAT is exceptional. Not only is the caliber and quality of the productions fantastic, but even after being several productions with a variety of theatres, my children continue to be challenged and grown in various aspects of their skills at GREAT’s summer theatre camps. However, the thing that keeps our family coming back to GREAT (more than other area theatre summer opportunities) are the relationships. My children feel welcome and have met more friends than I can count! These friendships continue far past their summer camp experiences and it’s so encouraging to see them continue to encourage and champion one another.”

Open to youth ages 4-grade 12, summer camps are offered at over a dozen schools and theatre spaces within a 30 mile radius of St. Cloud throughout the summer. Camps provide age-appropriate curriculum and themes and are designed to meet the needs of each individual participant, whether they’ve performed before or are stepping on stage for the first time. With a renewed focus on process and skill development, additional intensive opportunities, new stories as well as past favorites, we are excited to offer a thrilling experience for all of our young theatre artists.

To reduce the barrier of cost, we offer a “pick-your price” registration option for summer camp with no minimum or proof of need. Thanks to our generous supporters who want to ensure everyone has access to the transformative power of the arts, over $42,000 was awarded in scholarships to 213 campers in 2025!

BE CREATIVE. MEET NEW FRIENDS. HAVE FUN. PLAY. BE GREAT.

My son’s connection to GREAT Theatre has changed his life and opened him up to new friendships and experiences that he could never get anywhere else.

“This was an exceptional way for my son to spend a week of his summer vacation. It has given him increased confidence!”
