The camp features “Scrapped,” a custom-designed musical theatre review with group numbers, choreography, solos, and skits that campers learn and perform in just one week, and “Broadway Jr.,” full-scale Broadway Jr. productions that provide a more intensive theatrical experience. Both programs culminate in two performances (Friday evening and Saturday afternoon) and include a pizza cast party and awards ceremony, creating memorable experiences for all participants.
Throughout the week, campers receive daily coaching in singing, dancing, acting, and character development while also contributing to the production through set painting and crafting. The camp emphasizes team building through color group competitions (Color Wars) and fosters personal artistic growth in a Christian environment that prioritizes leadership development. All campers learn an entire show in one week and perform twice, making this an immersive and rewarding theatrical experience. The camp also offers JAM (JuMP Academy Musical), an audition-based performance program for advanced students in grades 5-12.
Camp JuMP’s structured schedule allows for intensive training while maintaining a fun, supportive atmosphere. With consistent pricing and a proven track record of developing young talent, the camp serves rising 2nd through 12th graders with varying levels of experience, from beginners in Scrapped to more advanced performers in Broadway Jr. productions.
