Spring Break Rocks: Enrollment Is Now Open For Spring Break And Summer Theater Camps At The Broward Center

Spring Break Theater Camp 2025
Themed Spring Break Camp Rocks, this five-day camp is under the direction of Nina Felice, Executive Director of The Performance Project School of the Arts, who will share her knowledge and hands-on experience in musical theater, acting, dance, voice and technical production with students from different ages and experience levels. The one-week camp runs from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. from March 24th - March 28th at the Rose Miniaci Arts Education Center on the Broward Center campus. This one week camp culminates with a live performance of an electrifying musical revue on a professional stage at the Broward Center on March 28th at 6:00 p.m. This high-energy show will feature iconic songs from beloved rock musicals with a lineup of power ballads, Classic Rock, Rock N' Roll and Rap. Due to limited seating, each camper will receive two tickets for guests to attend the showcase. If available, the Broward Center may be able to provide additional tickets on the first day of camp.

Camp is split into age groups: grades 2 to 5, grades 6 to 8 and a teen program, for grades 9 to 12. Teens earn volunteer hours by helping the younger campers in the morning and receive coaching on a song and/or monologue in the afternoon which they perform on the final day. Tuition for grades 2 to 5 and 6 to 8 is $325 and $170 for grades 9 to 12. Early camp hours are also available from 8 - 9 a.m. for $35; after camp hours are available from 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. for $65; or both before and after camp for $100 per session.
