South Carolina Children’s Theatre provides half-day summer camps for students ages 3 – 12th grade in acting, musical theatre, creative storytelling, theatrical design, improvisation, and more!

About SCCT’s Education Program
Established in 1992, SCCT’s Theatre Arts Conservatory is a year-round program for students ages 3-18. The format includes Advanced-Level Studios, Intermediate, Process, Musical Theatre, Story Drama, and Exploration Classes, as well as Specialty Classes & Workshops. Each format offers unique games, activities, and challenges for the theatre student.

We believe that theatre arts training is like any other form of training; the more you do it, the better you get. Just as a dancer takes class after class of ballet; or a soccer player trains year after year with a team, theatre arts training is most effective when the student is repeatedly exposed to vocabulary, theories, and exercises. At SCCT, we hope to provide a variety of creative opportunities that encourage creative thinking, develop verbal and social skills, and bolster self-esteem. Skills needed for any job, not just acting.

Fundamental Communications is a natural environment-based therapy group consisting of a team of pediatric speech, occupational, and physical therapists. We proudly provide services in a variety of locations including schools, clinics, child care centers, and homes. Our experienced and caring professionals provide individualized treatment for the pediatric population. Our goal is to engage children in fun and meaningful therapy to help them achieve their highest potential.

Many of our therapists have summer openings for speech, occupational, and physical therapy. If you are interested in continuing with therapy throughout the summer, please call our office for availability.

Even though children need a break from the rigor of school, summer vacation offers opportunities to learn and develop in a more relaxed setting outside the structure of school. A flexible summer schedule also offers more opportunities for children and therapists to work on those challenges that they haven’t had time to address.

Children can enjoy more therapy time outside with the added benefit of natural vitamin D. Plus, playing outside can work several different therapies at once!

All of our therapists are BabyNet certified providers, so therapy is FREE through the age of 3! After that, we bill directly to your insurance for coverage.

Find out more at Fundamental Communications or call us at (864) 270-8647 extension 107.

This summer we have 6 weeks of half-day camps with morning and afternoon sessions running June 12 – July 28 that will delight your junior engineer.
