My daughter attended a three week session last summer. She liked it, but didn't love it. She went for the first time at age 17 and only stayed for one session....probably not the best set up in the world...not enough time to really settle in, especially when a lot of the people her age had been coming for years. Admittedly, her experience was clouded by the fact that she was very ill (fever of 103 for several days) in the infirmary and home for most of the second week . That knocked the momentum out of her experience and I'm sure also hampered social bonding that one would expect. Never the less, she thought the classes were very, very good. She signed up for a full schedule of dance classes because she felt that was her weak area. And she came away feeling that she had benefitted, even with missing a lot. She was in Evita, and again, the show was quite something, expecially considering it was put together in less than three weeks.
I think that if you are a theater person AND a camp person, this is an awesome place to go. I would have liked to have the chance when I was a kid. As a parent, I have to say that it is a VERY expensive three weeks...I'd have had to take a second mortgage on the house for my daughter to spend the entire summer there.
