Camp FAQs
A little preparation. A great first day.
Will my child need to be at every day of camp?
We encourage our students to attend all classes all 3 days of camp to ensure that they get the full experience of camp! However if they have to miss a day or part of a day, that will not affect their ability to participate.
What else should I know?

NorCal Arts offers a high quality experience in a nurturing, artistic and educational atmosphere. We are thrilled to share this wonderful journey with you and your family. The main goal is for the students to engage in theater arts and express themselves through their talents of music, drama, design, writing, and dance.
