The NW Optimist Performing Arts Center (an Oklahoma City Parks facility at 3301 NW Grand Blvd) hosts youth theater summer day camps. Two-week sessions serve youth ages 6-12 and teens 13-17, running 8am-5pm and covering theater basics — warm-ups, terminology, auditions, choreography and acting — building toward a final performance such as Princess and the Pauper or Magic Treehouse.

★★★★★Seanna GranthamI knew the first day we walked into NW optimist that this was a special place that would be in our lives for a long time. This is a place where my kid gets to thrive as herself. I really love and appreciate the environment that has been created to encourage individuality and true self expression. My daughter has flourished and I thank everyone involved for creating this community.
★★★★★Sara NaismithThe absolute best inclusive and fantastic place for the proforming arts in OKC. My kids have been going here for years. The staff is so amazing and they just make everything safe and fun for everyone. My oldest is in a wheelchair and my middle son is Autistic and they are never left out.
★★★★★Jennifer JenkinsIncredible staff, great kids, overall wonderful experience for my kiddos who have been going over a year. My kiddos have had boosts in confidence on stage, made many friends, & used their acting experience to audition for other opportunities. I would definitely recommend NWO!
★★★★★Annie MccutchenCan not praise this place enough! My nephew has been participating in the programs for a few years now and I'll say, he would not be the same confident person he is now without this. It breaks my heart to see funding being slashed and our governor trying to dismantle programs like this for his own greed. These programs ARE ESSENTIAL to preparing our youth to be well-rounded, confident, dream seeking individuals and it brings them so much JOY. Why would we deny that for our children?
★★★★★Jordan YatesOur daughter was was enrolled in a week long performing arts camp over spring break and absolutely loved it. Everyone was so friendly and they even had 2 showing of their production the last day of the camp. I highly recommend looking into the camps and classes they offer for your little ones interested in the performing arts.
