Renaissance Summer Camp (8:00AM)

Bennett Academy of the Performing Arts has created a Summer Performing Arts program for ages 5-15. The Bennett Academy is located in downtown New Rochelle, NY.

The Renaissance Program is based on the innovative and new artistic ideas that came out of the Renaissance. This is a very informative educational art program, but we have made it fun, exciting, and sociable. The children will be learning all aspects of theater, music, singing, dance, visual arts and playwriting, just to name a few. We also work with your schedule; children can stay all day, or just take a few classes per week.

 

This one of a kind program starts July 7th and ends August 22nd. The children then have a showcase Weekend from August 23rd -August 24th, to show case everything that they learned at the program.

Classes are named after different themes of the Renaissance, and we have classes for all ages and levels.

 

Our prices are affordable for such a distinctively educational, and artistic program. To find out more information about Bennett Academy
