PAC PREP: Rising 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade
A week-long, theatre skill-building camp on Seeley Lake at Camp Paxson. Students will rehearse and perform a scripted showcase that features their singing, dancing, and acting prowess. The campers’ last event is an on-site showcase (not open to the public – a video will be filmed and sent to families). This camp is meant to prepare campers for PAC, a challenging performing arts intensive (see below).
2026 DATES: July 26 – August 1, 2026
PAC: 9th – 13th Grade (recent HS graduates)
A two-week theatre intensive on Flathead Lake at United Methodist Camp and at the Missoula Children’s Theatre. Talented youth come from all over the world, make life-long friends, and hone their performing skills. Campers spend much of their day in rehearsals and classes preparing for their final ticketed performances held at the Missoula Children’s Theatre in Missoula, MT.
