Idol Summer Camp

With the popularity of American Idol taking the world by storm it is not at all surprising that more and more of our children want to get into the entertainment industry. Although getting on the high rungs of the entertainment ladder is not an easy task, parents have a sure fire way to at least improve their childrens singing abilities.OC Idol Summer camp will give children of all ages the opportunity to work with vocal coaches, sing songs appropriate for their voice range and style, put together singing groups, solo acts or ensembles.

Match that with the hippest choreographers who will show them how to move, perform and choreograph an entire routine to and perform it live for family and friends. Camp is weekly. Early drop off is 8:30 AM and ends at 3:00. There is extended care if you need it. Campers will have available an early breakfast of muffins, bagels and juice. Then the fun begins. Starting with warm up games and fun improvs to get the creative juices flowing.

The performers will work with vocal coaches, choreographers, and stylists and put together - in one week a variety show to be seen by parents and family members. Camp will be video taped and each camper will be given a DVD of the week to take home as a keepsake. "Our camps have always been a blast" says Natalie Costa, President of The Performer`s Academy. "Last year we had children repeating camp week after week. We had two boys that stayed the entire summer who were visiting from Dubai. This year we have a family from Australia coming and another from England."
