Starcamp

The Starcamp summer camp in Greystones provides the stars of tomorrow with the chance to get together and practice their performance skills in a fun and friendly setting. Taking place at St Patrick’s Centre & Hall from July 2-6 and July 23-27, these week-long camps aim to instil confidence and self-esteem in all boys and girls through praise and recognition in a non-competitive environment.

Boys and girls aged 4 to 12 of all levels can take part in creative performances, with advanced programmes for Starcamp Superstars aged 9 to 12, offering endless opportunities in the performing arena, with the emphasis squarely on building confidence and self-assurance to support conscientious and caring children.

For younger children (4 to 5 and 6 to 8), the programme includes singing Disney classics, dancing to chart favourites, acting scenes from popular films, fun team games, arts and crafts, a song and dance showcase and fun interactive games.

Children aged 9 to 12 can enjoy an introduction to pop singing, hip-hop dance and choreography, acting, script writing and directing, improv, audition technique and fun life skills improvement, and can also show off their talents at the week-ending showcase.

Running since 2007, Starcamps have a proven track record and outstanding reputation amongst performing professionals, principals, teachers, parents, and most importantly of all, the children who take part.

It’s a great way to inspire confidence in your children, and help your budding young star make new friends in a fun setting.
