The thing i love most about TAP camp, is that it is such an accepting and fun environment. I learn TONS of great information and tricks and tips on how to improve my musical theatre and dance world. TAP camp also has helped me gain confidence in myself and I have learned to be a better person.

Camp Philosophy
Accept the Challenge
Texas Arts Project strives to create the "complete artist." Each camper chooses a major and devotes at least half of each camp day to an intense study in that chosen field. Additionally, campers take classes and study the other majors. All campers get a taste of performance and teamwork as they learn the opening and closing numbers together.
Discover the Process
The study of any subject begins with the basics and the performing arts at TAP camp are no different. Campers vigorously study the nuts and bolts of their major - from acting techniques and musical theatre history to film editing and body conditioning. Only through intimate awareness with our field can we properly work towards our greatest potential.
Realize Your Potential
At TAP camp, we never lose sight of the final goal. Showcase rehearsals require campers to integrate their technique with strong performance skills. Our rigorous rehearsal process ensures a feeling of accomplishment and personal success with each and every camper's final bow.

Reception & Check-Out
Days at TAP Boarding Camps for the Performing Arts are chock-full as students rotate on a tight schedule of classes, activities and rehearsals for the final showcase. You'll never be bored at camp and you'll love every minute of it. While we enjoy the standard camp fare of marshmallow roasting and water balloon fights, the real excitement comes when students discover the joy of creation and the thrill of performance. Here we strive for excellence through an artistic program where students are actively encouraged to find the place where process meets product.
Texas Arts Project Performing Arts Camps are part of St. Stephen’s Episcopal School’s Theatre Focus Program.
