Learning from an all-star team of professional artists and educators, campers will be immersed in interactive arts activities.

With a daily show and time built in to connect with friends old and new, Virtual Camp Arena Stage will provide campers with an unforgettable summer experience at home. 

"The counselors have celebrated each child’s artistic talent ... and provided positive support and encouragement. I am simply in awe that this would be possible virtually." 

– CAS Parent
