But will the spirit of theatre prevail? This fun, energetic musical revue is designed to give a wide range of young performers an opportunity to hit the stage and shine! Campers spend the first part of the day rehearsing and doing show-related crafts. The second part of the day is spent focusing on singing, acting and dance training, in small, age-based groups. New this year, a field trip to the mountain theater for a day of outdoor theatre fun. Also, the ever popular Barbecue and Movie Night will be making a return for it's fifth year this summer! Session culminates in a free performance of the new musical THE GRUNCH, for friends and family to attend, on the last day of the session, Friday July 12! Price: $1,025.00

Students in the Praying Mantis, Buddha Palm, Sword Immortal, and Sparring Form weeks will learn entire forms and earn impressive certificates for their accomplishments. We are planning being outside for most of the day. Since Roy’s Redwoods and other great areas are so close by we will emphasize hiking and training our kung fu outdoors in beautiful places. We’ll rest, regroup back at the school in our home base room with sofas, chairs and a good TV, and watch a couple of Kung Fu movies each week!
