How to Plan a Summer Camp (Without the Stress!)

the sky’s the limit when choosing camp activities!

Summer camps are a fantastic way to keep students engaged, attract new families, and add extra income to your studio. But planning can feel overwhelming—where do you start? The key is choosing a clear, engaging theme that excites students and makes teaching easy for you.

Steps to a Smooth & Successful Camp:

🎯 Pick a Focus: Keep it simple! Whether it’s rhythm, composition, or creative movement, a well-defined theme makes planning easier.
📅 Set the Schedule: Will your camp run for multiple days, one-day workshops, or weekly group sessions? Find a format that fits your studio.
🎶 Make It Hands-On: The best camps get kids moving, creating, and collaborating. Fun, active learning keeps energy high!
📣 Promote Early: Announce your camp at least two months in advance to give families time to plan. Use email, social media, and word of mouth to spread the word.
