JOIN AJT THIS SUMMER FOR CAMPS!

Summer camps at Asheville Junior Theater are a great way for kids to try acting, singing or dancing. Whether it’s to improve their talents in preparation for our fall show, or to simply join us for some summer fun, your junior actor is welcome here!

FULL payment for summer camp is due upon registration. This includes a non-refundable $100 deposit. If you do not pay in FULL, we cannot hold a spot for your child.

Each camp has a minimum requirement of ten kids. We reserve the right to cancel and refund you if these minimums are not met.

Camps will fill up and move to a wait list, so register your child today!
