Studio East is a non-secular arts organization that welcomes students from any background, culture, identity, orientation, or ability. As part of our summer camp program, we have partnered with local churches as our camp venues for many years. These community partners make it possible for us to hold as many summer camps as we do, fostering our young actor’s exploration of the performing arts in spaces that often have beautiful performance stages and most importantly, provide a footprint that suits our program needs.
