What is the camp’s mission and philosophy?

Our mission is to build character, create community, and inspire excellence. Through extraordinary experiences in a diverse and inclusive performing arts setting, we aim to empower every student.

What safety measures are in place?

Each camp has a site coordinator who checks kids in and out of camps. Staff and instructors are easily identifiable, aware of emergency procedures, and keep all site areas clean.

What is the camper-to-counselor ratio?

Each camp has a 1 instructor/10 camper ratio on average. Our instructors hold degrees in their areas of expertise.

How are staff members screened and trained?

All staff members and instructors are interviewed and background-checked.

Is there a daily schedule, and can you provide an example?

The schedule depends on the type of camp and varies. Instructors review daily schedules with students at the beginning of each day.

Are there opportunities for free play or downtime?

Time is allotted for breaks, snack time, and downtime.

How does the camp handle health issues and allergies?

If a student is sick for any reason, PAA asks that they stay home until symptom-free for 24 hours. Instructors are notified about allergies.

Are there opportunities for parents to visit or participate in camp activities?

Summer Theatre Skills Camps feature a Shareformance for family members to see what the child learned throughout camp. Summer Shows feature a stage production at the end of the session.
