Thank you for your interest in our 2020 Boulder Summer Camps. Now in our 25th year, we look forward to in-person camps in a private setting in an outdoor location.
We will be in Niwot, CO on the private land of one of our parents, near Haystack Mountain. Exact location will be emailed to you upon registration.
All camps will end in a final performance with costumes in a festive outdoor setting, practicing social distancing guidelines.
Student temperatures will be taken at the beginning of each day of camp. Any students with cold symptoms will be sent home for the day. Students will be asked to wear masks as necessary when in close proximity.
For a full understanding of our terms and conditions regarding in-person camps, please review our COVID-19 Liability of Release, which is intended to keep everyone safe and is incorporated into the online camp registration process.

We are thrilled to be offering a camp dedicated to Docudrama: a theatrical art form that seeks to capture the history, events, and experiences of a community during a certain period of time. At RMTK, we are eager and excited to support students in writing and performing stories inspired by what is happening right now in our very community. Students will learn how to realistically act, write, devise, and create a piece of theatrical art completely from scratch and perform.

Acting for Comedy & Drama
Directed by Liz Porter
AGES 12 – 17
Camp Dates: July 6 – July 10 (1 week)
This one-week acting intensive is an in-depth experience for the student actor who wants to enhance both their comedic and dramatic acting skills. Straight acting can be different from acting for musical theatre in that it demands nuance, a keen attention to text, and the skills necessary to navigate the internal experience of a character in an authentic fashion. In this intensive, we will explore the fundamentals of scene study, introduce campers to dynamic acting methods, and prepare them to approach work in the realm of the “straight play” with confidence. A final presentation of monologues and scene work will take place on the evening of our last class.
Original Price: $450
How WE’RE DIFFERENT from other camps!!
-
Low student-staff ratio! We achieve a lot in a short time and do so by keeping our programs well-staffed with a low student-staff ratio.
-
We produce top notch youth theatre and build a strong community. We train our actors to work as a team. Ensemble work accompanies all the work we do and the students thrive on it!
-
Professional theatre staff. Our teachers are theatre professionals with professional performance experience as well as a B.A. and/or M.A. in theatre. All our teachers are trained by us with a passion for the performing arts.
-
We are an equal opportunity program and there are no student “stars”!
Final Performances: Performances will be live in person or recorded for re-broadcast. Final decision will be made based on latest state guidelines regarding group gatherings. Parents will be emailed one week prior to last day of camp.
Cancellation Policy: No cancellations after June 1. Partial credit toward future programming may be issued in the case of medical emergencies.
