Camps

Updated on May 29, 2020
Dear Would-Be CYT Campers,
As CYT Camp dates come closer, we’re hoping to receive clearer (and freer) guidelines from Placer County and our facilities so that CYT Camp can maintain a kind, welcoming and inclusive environment.  
  • If masks are required CYT Camp will be cancelled.  
  • Summer day camps are currently not allowed under Phase 2 restrictions.
  • If restrictions are loosened we will create fixed teams in smaller numbers, in order to limit exposure while letting kids be kids and have fun together.
  • For the time being we have limited enrollment for each week.  If guidelines allow, we will open more spots.
    • Max enrollment of 70 (30 teens, 30 kids, 10 W/OG) per week.
    • 7 teams of 10 campers maximum to accommodate for teams to remain in separate rooms. (Subject to change based on county guidelines.)
    • No large group activities.
    • Camp registration is open on our website. (See refund information below.)
  • Live Showcase Alternative - if a live audience cannot gather to watch a showcase performance, each team will be recorded by our Techie Campers Team, who will create a final presentation for a fun, interactive, virtual showcase watch-party.  

Full refunds will automatically be applied if we have to cancel due to COVID safety measures or due to low enrollment.  Full refunds will be given if you become ill before camp. Prorated refunds will be given if your camper shows symptoms of illness during camp and needs to stay home. Healthy campers only, please.
If you or your child are not comfortable with county guidelines, please do not participate in CYT Camp, as CYT is required to adhere to guidelines, as best we can.
 

Country TOY Jamboree Camp (Ages 5-12)

Reach for the sky, CYT Campers!  Strap on your boots and cowboy hats as we join Woody, Jessie and the rest of the Toy Story Gang in the Wild Wild West! Get ready for a hoe-down show-down between the Countrified Toys, the Happy Campers and the Not-So-Happy Campers as we sing, dance, and act (or is it hoot, holler an’ ho-down?) to some old-time country classics as well as some new swing-swangin’, boot-scootin’ tunes from modern day!!!

What the Tech! (Ages 12-18)

Now more than ever, we see the importance of technology. The world’s gone virtual, and there’s no turning back!  CYT’s Techie Campers will learn the basics of photography and videography with a focus on creating a camp video for all to see.  Students will participate in daily interactive workshops where they’ll learn skills such as the importance of framing, keeping a consistent vision and how to capture the mood. They’ll receive hands-on learning throughout the week as they capture camp candids and performance footage to learn about editing and audio techniques. This special team of campers will collaborate to produce an original camp video presentation to be shared at showcase, and with the world!

Camps

During the summer, CYT Branches put on week-long musical theater day camps for students ages 5-18. Camps are designed to be a fun and energetic immersion into the world of musical theater. Camps are jam-packed with games, activities, and interactive workshops that build performance skills, self-confidence, and teamwork. Typical camps include team competitions, rotations through drama, dance, and voice workshops and a concluding showcase for family and friends. 

CYT Summer Camps are all about fun, friendships, and theatrics. Camps are a great yearly tradition for your child!

Camp Description

CYT Camp Themes

Camp workshops, games, devotionals and the final Showcase performance center around an original theme.

Counselors

Camp staff includes local artists, CYT Production Artistic Teams, and  theater specialists. These counselors are high energy, experienced, and love working with kids! CYT aims to hire counselors who are great role models for our students. All CYT counselors have been background checked and adhere to our CYT Mission and Values. 

Showcase

At the end of camp, students perform in a showcase that they have rehearsed over the course of their fun-­filled week. Family and friends get to come watch the students perform the material they have learned in just one short week, free of charge! Showcase is a celebration of the week’s work and gives kids a glimpse into the energy and excitement of being part of a full CYT production.
*Showcase may take on a different format for the 2020 year.
