Get ready to ogre-achieve this summer with two weeks of fairy-tale fun!
Things are getting a little swampy at The Justice Theater Project this July and August. Join us for two weeks of adventure, creativity, and laughter as we bring Shrek Jr. to life with a full musical production featuring sixty rising 3rd through rising 9th graders.
🧅 Why you’ll want to join our happily-ever-after (with layers): 🧅
Professional Direction & Coaching: Work with experienced theater professionals who will help your child grow their skills, confidence, and stage presence—no magic potion required.
Fun & Supportive Environment: Build friendships, embrace individuality, and discover that being yourself is something worth celebrating (just ask Shrek).
No Experience Required: Whether your child is a bold Donkey-type or brand new to the stage, there’s a role for everyone in our fairy-tale world.
Flexible & Affordable: One all-inclusive camp fee covers rehearsals, materials, a pre-show pizza dinner, and 6 tickets to the final performance—because every ogre deserves an audience.
StoryBuilders
A devising summer theater camp for rising 3rd–9th graders
Grab your hard hats (and your thinking caps)! In this creative camp, StoryBuilders will team up in age-based crews of fifteen to design and build their own original stage show from the ground up. With guidance from skilled teaching artists, campers will brainstorm characters, shape scenes, and assemble a unique performance inspired by texts from the Peace Library. It’s a relaxed, hands-on theater experience where every camper helps lay the foundation of the story, hammer out ideas together, and bring their vision to life on stage. No auditions, no pressure—just collaborative storytelling with heart.

What do we expect of a JTP Camper? Review the information below to make sure your student is set up for success!
Student Expectations
Be open-minded
There are moments where some activities can seem impossible because we have never done them before. At camp, we encourage campers to try new things and remove the word “can’t” from their vocabulary. Campers are capable of so much more than they think!
Be kind and respectful
Summer camp is meant to be fun, so we are not going to bring each other down during our time together. Unkind words or actions, hateful speech, and discrimination of any kind towards other campers or staff is unacceptable.
Commit to learning
Putting on a show can be extremely fun, but it also takes great dedication and hard work. Campers will learn music, choreography, blocking, and more. It is up to them to be focused during camp and practice at home.
Know the consequences
It is important to know that violations of these Student Expectations can result in warnings, removal from activities, calls to parents, and in extreme cases, dismissal from camp.
Engage in camp activities
The way campers can have the most fun over the next two weeks is to positively and actively participate in camp activities. They will have the opportunity to engage in singing, dancing, acting, yoga, staging, and more. Although some activities may interest a camper more than others, it is vital that they do their best in every activity at camp.
Be prepared for camp
Campers should come dressed appropriately each day, meaning closed-toed shoes and comfortable clothes that they can move in. Campers should also pack a lunch with two snacks and have a water bottle with them. Campers will be given a script and it is their responsibility to bring it to camp every day. Campers should also be conscious of their personal health and hygiene throughout the duration of camp.
