Step into the world of Auradon and the Isle of the Lost for a fun-filled musical theatre week inspired by Descendants. Children will spend the week singing, dancing and acting as they work towards a fully staged mini-show — but instead of a live parent performance at the end of the week, their final piece will be professionally filmed by a real film crew. This won’t be a static camera at the back of the room. The children will get the exciting experience of performing on set, with multiple cameras, microphones and a proper production-style set-up to help them feel like they’re part of a movie musical. Across the week, they’ll learn choreography, practise scenes, develop bold characters and work together as a cast to create a show in just one week. Expect catchy songs, high-energy routines, dramatic moments and plenty of confidence-building fun. This workshop is perfect for children who love performing, whether they are already confident on stage or just beginning to find their voice. It’s also ideal for working parents who can’t always make a daytime final performance, but still want their child to experience the excitement of creating and sharing a show. A brilliant screen-free holiday activity for creative children who love music, drama, performing and making new friends — with a professionally filmed keepsake to enjoy afterwards.
Camp notes
Want to make your child’s camp week even more valuable?
Children booked onto our full-day camp can add our focused LAMDA Intensive for just £100 — giving them five afternoons of specialist exam preparation, individual piece selection and the chance to work towards a recognised performance qualification.
Children will stay on each day from 3pm–5pm for LAMDA coaching, developing performance technique, vocal expression, character, storytelling and confidence, while preparing their own exam pieces.
Before the course begins, each child will also receive a 20-minute Zoom call to meet their teacher, discuss their level and be given the pieces they will be working on throughout the week. This helps them arrive feeling prepared, confident and ready to get the most out of the intensive.
This add-on is suitable for children at different levels, from those taking their first LAMDA exam to more experienced performers working towards higher grades. Higher-level LAMDA exams can also contribute towards UCAS points as children progress.
The standalone price for this course is £165, so by adding it to your child’s camp booking, you save £65.
**Please note: the LAMDA exam fee is payable separately**
