Summer at Southeast offers a wide variety of academic and special interest opportunities to area youth ranging in age from pre-school to college through one day, multi-day and overnight summer programs and camps. Each program or camp is designed to highlight a particular field of study or skill and to encourage everyone to explore their potential.

Spring Workshops
New this spring, we launched workshops geared to elementary and middle school students allowing them artistic learning opportunities. The first session offered students the chance to learn new performance skills in conjunction with Southeast’s production of Peter Pan. And thanks to such a large response, we were excited to offer two more chances for students to learn theatre performance skills along with storytelling, self-expression and teamwork. We had such a good time we are planning additional class offerings next spring, so keep watching!
