CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: The Mission of the Harand Camp Scholarship Fund is to provide camp scholarships to young people, ages 7 to 18, from diverse and "at risk" backgrounds, who have an interest in music, dance, drama, or technical theater, and have financial need. We are dedicated to making camp accessible for children of all backgrounds. To ensure this, the Harand Camp Scholarship Fund offers a sliding scale of aid to low- and middle-income families.

OTHER CAMP INFO: Schedule: Campers spend half the day in theater classes and the other half in activity classes of their own choosing. Evenings and Sundays include a rotating schedule of rehearsals, cabin nights, and all-camp events and games. Living: Upon arrival, our campers (ages 7 - 18) are divided into "cabins" by age and reside together in the dorms (2-3 per room).
Food: Meals are served three times a day in the dining hall which features many options, including a salad bar, and frozen yogurt.
Performing Arts Program: Harand Camp adheres to a non-competitive philosophy where everyone is a star (the primary goal is for all campers to build self-confidence & self-esteem). In preparation for final performances, campers take daily classes in singing, dancing, and dramatics in the morning or afternoon. Occasional rehearsals are held in the evening (alternating with activities & events). Each session then culminates with a large-scale performance for friends, family, and alumni in a state-of-the-art theatre.
First 3-Week Session (Pageant) - Campers participate in a full-length musical revue involving the entire camp. Each age group prepares two sections of non-stop singing and dancing and appear on stage no less than three times.
Past Harand Camp pageants include: Tributes to Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Movie Musicals, Women of Broadway, the Tony Awards, Broadway Rock Musicals, etc.
Second 3-Week Session (Shows) - During the second three weeks, each age group prepares a full-length show. Unlike at other camps, Haranders have the chance to take on leading roles, as well as learn how to be a part of the ensemble � ensuring that every camper receives the full musical theatre experience.
Electives and Activities: In addition to the theatre program, campers also register for three periods of elective activities per day. The camp operates on an alternating schedule of A-Days (M, W, F) and B-Days (Tu, Th, Sa), so campers actually have six classes of their own choosing. Examples may include Soccer, Basketball, Swimming, Volleyball, Badminton, Cheerleading, Tennis, Fitness, Zumba, Technical Theatre, Costuming, Improv, Audition Coaching, Story Theatre, Hip Hop, Tap, Photography, Film & Video, Arts & Crafts, Creative Writing, Board Games, etc. When not rehearsing in the evening, campers enjoy cabin nights and events, as well as all-camp competitions, concerts and excursions.
The activity schedule may include the following: talent shows, campfires, Action Territory (entertainment park), beach excursions, skating, Family Feud and Trivia competitions, hobby nights, carnivals, dances, karaoke, bowling, and more.
