★★★★★Mary LoweLove that PAW makes the arts accessible from a location, cost, and time perspective. The team is so helpful in supporting families getting plugged in so kids can have a confidence-building outlet for creative energy.
★★★★★Joy BoldenMy daughter is so excited to experience PAW's theatre camp this summer! I researched theatre camps in my area, and found PAW. My experience so far has been great! The customer service is nice and professional, and the Ambassador program has been easy to navigate. It's amazing that they offer such a generous scholarship.
★★★★★Jill StriffI am so happy that I found PAW. I have been searching for quality summer camps with unique programming such as Debate, Stage FX make-up, Musical Theatre, Comedy, Photography and Filming. PAW has them all and for reasonable pricing with extended care options as well. They are super welcoming and my son is so excited for his camp this summer.
★★★★★Gabriela MoralesMy son who's 7 is so EXCITED to perform in Wicked this summer! The many Westside locations make this camp super convenient (West LA, El Segundo, Redondo Beach and more). My son has been interested in musicals and performing at his school and when we heard about PAWs he couldn't help but want to sign up right away. It's nice that PAW summer camps have so many options for kids of different ages! They also have an Ambassador Program where you can get HALF OFF a 2 week session making it very reasonable!
★★★★★Michael YankWe cannot recommend this camp enough! This past summer, my 11yo and 7yo daughters participated in a production of Wicked here, and had such a wonderful time! They learned so much about theater and still regularly keep in touch with the friends they made. My 14yo also took their classes in Photography and Stage FX Makeup -- the Makeup class in particular was a truly unique experience you would be hard to find anywhere else. Our daughters can't wait to return next summer!
