This is STAR Camp's twelfth summer! Come explore the visual and performing arts this summer and discover your hidden talents. Everyone gets into the action as we learn, rehearse, create and have FUN! Professional teachers in the visual and performing arts in drama, dance, vocals, and art will provide instruction.

The performance this summer will be "Fame" which will be performed for the community at the conclusion of the program. The art curriculum will include a variety of new materials and creative techniques. Our art projects will be displayed for the public during the performances.

It is nothing short of a global phenomenon. First came the hit motion picture, then the long-running television series and another hit movie. Now the screen sensation of the 1980's is the stage sensation of 2010 and it's coming to STAR Camp this summer! "Fame-The Musical" is indeed "gonna live forever."

Set during the last years of New York City's celebrated High School for the Performing Arts on 46th Street (1980-1984), "Fame-The Musical" is bittersweet but ultimately inspiring story of a diverse group of students as they commit to four years of grueling artistic and academic work. With candor, humor and insight, the show explores the issues that confront many young people today: issues of prejudice, identity, self-worth, literacy, abuse and perseverance. Presented in a way that STAR Camp actors and actresses can relate to, understand and learn from, "FAME" will be a great way to spend the summer singing and dancing!

All youth are required to participate in each element of the camp. No previous experience is necessary. Participants must bring their lunch daily.

This camp was the recipient of the Genesee Valley Recreation & Park Society Program Award for 1998 for an outstanding and beneficial program for youth.
