PAC@ROCHESTER - Performing Arts Camp
We are thrilled to begin offering performing arts camps (PAC) at Rochester this Summer. There will be two, one week camps the week of July 18 and the week of July 25. Camp will be available to students entering the 3rd grade through completion of 9th grade. The attendees are placed in four groups based upon birthdate. Campers will participate in daily classes in stage, art, music, dance and recreation. The campers will perform on Friday at 5:30 pm their very own show with each group performing a skit, a song and dance, and all will participate in a full group production number. Registration will begin April 11 and enrolled students at Rochester will have first chance at the camps. Camp runs from 9-4 p.m. daily. A daycare option is available at an additional cost which allows campers to be dropped off after 7:30 a.m. and picked up by 5:30 p.m. You may attend one or both camps. You may email our Fine Arts Coordinator, Mr. Bauser with any questions bbauser@rochester3a.net.
