North Texas Performing Arts Summer Camps 2026: Theater, Film, Voice, and Inclusive Arts
A parent-focused guide to North Texas Performing Arts summer camp options across Plano, Frisco, Dallas, Southlake, and Fairview, organized by program type so families can compare the right fit faster.
Quick answer
Start with this guide if your child wants a performance-focused summer: NTPA is one of the clearest starting points for North Texas families comparing theater, film, voice, and inclusive creative arts camps across multiple campuses.
The useful parent question is not just "Does NTPA have camps?" It is "Which kind of NTPA camp fits my kid?" Theater camps are the broadest path, film camps may be better for kids who like storytelling but are not ready for live stage work, voice camps fit kids interested in character work and audio performance, and Starcatchers is the inclusive creative arts path to review for youth and adults with disabilities.
Use the listings below as a shortlist, then confirm current openings, dates, prices, and any first-time-family discounts directly with NTPA before booking.

Which NTPA camp should a first-time theater kid try?
Start with the theater camp listings in your closest city, then compare age range, schedule, and production theme. Theater camps are usually the most flexible entry point for kids who want to try performing.
Are NTPA film camps only for kids who already act?
