Thanks for your interest in summer time learning experiences through Floyd Central's Theatre Dept.
We just finished a year of transition from a seasoned director to a first year director and we are happy to report that the transition was nearly seemless. As NAFCS continues to move to a block schedule, our summers are getting shorter. It's hard to imagine that in about 70 days we will be returning to school.
That being said, Floyd Central is not planning any summer camps this year. It's been a few years since we had one and are hoping to get back to that in the next couple of years.
In the meantime, may we suggest a couple of other local camps as well as http://www.sisarts.org.
SISA is in Clarksville and they have a 5 week summer session for youth.... And check out the YMCA as well.... they are starting to offer more arts/jazz/ballet classes.
Double check the dates of the camps below. If your family is in the NAFCS Corp, some of these camps may not be possible.
