Love Theater?

This is only a suggestion. 
If you love theater and your parents can afford it (or you can because of all that babysitting or lawn mowing or some other money-making activity you've been doing), this is an outstanding opportunity -- especially because of the amazingly talented faculty they've lined up. 

Here is information from their Facebook page:
Our mission is to provide young people ages 3.5 - 18+ with high quality, innovative, participatory theatre, speech, storytelling, and dance experience and training, taught by professionals in each field; to reflect the diversity of the communities we serve; and to help our students develop skills and broaden their horizons, as people and artists.

The UVU/Noorda Summer Camp is scheduled to run four consecutive weeks, with the option of participating in one class or multiple classes, for one or all sessions.

Morning classes held 9AM-12PM daily.
Afternoon classes, backstage practicum, and film-making classes held 1PM-4PM daily.

First week: June 7-11
Second week: June 14-18
Third week: June 21-25
Fourth week: June 28-July 2

SUPER STUDENT AND THE CASE OF THE WATER PISTOL: A rollicking melodramatic farce where an elementary school is turned upside down! A nationally popular school play for all ages. Performed by 4th-9th graders.

HIGH SCHOOL HAMLET: A delightful spoof that crosses High School Musical with Hamlet, producing unexpected complexity laced with surprise, suspense, romance, and fun. Performed by 7th-12th graders.

THE SECRET LIFE OF GIRLS: A powerful and gripping drama that explores bullying and its consequences. A national best-seller that offers a captivating night of entertainment and reflection for young people and parents alike. Performed by 10th-12th graders.
