Welcome
Camp Fusion: Summer Performing Arts Camp
Welcome Camp Fusion Summer Performing Arts Camp! This page has everything you need to know to prepare for camp—daily schedules, theme days, what to bring, and what to expect.
Camp is a faith-based performing arts camp where theatre, movement & dance, visual arts, music, photography, and film/media-making come together in one immersive creative experience. Each week is built around a unique theme as campers have the opportunity rotate through three creative tracks that work together toward a shared final project or showcase. Campers grow in confidence, creativity, and collaboration in a strutted, encouraging environment led by experienced, background-checked instructors.
Our goal is for campers to feel safe, known, and excited to come back each day. We’re excited to spend part of the summer with your child. Below you’ll find everything you need to know about camp dates, daily flow, theme days, and logistics.
