The camp is $100 per child for the week.  A limited number of scholarships are available, please email ashecountylittletheatre@gmail.com with scholarship request. 

 The curriculum utilizes eight drama structures. Process style drama activities are lead by trained teachers of theatre to strengthen eight areas: developing and strengthening language and communication, problem solving, positive self-concept, social awareness, empathy, values and attitudes, and developing an understanding of the art of theatre.
