YOUNGSTOWN, OH (June 1, 2023) – YourArts Summer Camp, previously known as Stambaugh Summer Arts Camp, will be held Monday, July 10 thru Friday, July 14 at Stambaugh Auditorium. The purpose of the YourArts Camp is to increase children’s access to, knowledge of and appreciation for the arts with national and regional arts organizations.

The week-long program will star up to 50 local school age children culminating in the production of a full-scale musical production of Rapunzel. The YourArts Summer camp is an educational, entertaining and enriching opportunity that features local arts organizations as well as the world-renowned Missoula Children’s Theatre. YourArts will also be partnering with the City of Youngstown Department of Parks and Recreation and Boys and Girls Club to make the Summer Arts Camp available to interested students who are already enrolled in one of Youngstown’s Summer Day Camp programs. Local arts organizations including Ballet Western Reserve, Lit Youngstown, Castle on a Cloud Entertainment, The MAC Experience, Opera Western Reserve, the Youngstown Symphony Orchestra, and the Youngstown Playhouse will provide additional “hands-on” educational workshops throughout the week.

The Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) is based in Missoula, Montana, their mission is to develop life skills in children through participation in the performing arts. Creativity, social skills, goal achievement, communication skills, and self-esteem are all characteristics that are attained through participation in this unique, educational project.

With the support of sponsors and underwriters, it is the goal of YourArts to provide the camp at no cost to the children who participate.
