ETC Summer Camp is back in Arlington, VA in 2025—and better than ever! Whether you’re a returning family or checking us out for the first time, we’ve got exciting new themes, locations, and experiences waiting for your child this summer. Here's a peek at what's fresh, fun, and fabulous for 2025.
1. Brand-New Camp Themes
This year, we’re bringing in a host of adventure-packed, imagination-fueled themes that kids are already buzzing about:
Season Explorers – Journey through all four seasons in one camp week!
Build It Up – Theatre meets engineering as campers construct whatever they can imagine from the ground up.
Lost in the Dessert – Yes, dessert (not desert)! Think Candyland vibes with a theatrical twist.
Campfire Tales – Create and perform original silly stories inspired by nights around the fire.
Dream World: Imagination Unleashed – A whimsical adventure through kids' wildest dreams.
To the Future – Inspired by inventors and time travelers, this futuristic camp is a creative blast.
Antarctic Animals – Our coldest new theme, where kids will explore life in the land of penguins and icebergs!
Plus, revamped fan favorites like:
Shipwrecked – A new spin on past pirate/island adventures.
Rotten to the Core – A camp for fairy tale villains inspired by Descendants.
2. Youth and Teen Camp Highlights
Older campers also have something to be excited about:
Playwriting 101 (Brand-New!) – Campers write and workshop their very own plays. Led by a published playwright!
Musical Debut: Elemental – This is the first time the theme of our Musical Debut camp is announced in advance! Expect fire, water, earth, air—and tons of creativity.
Much Ado About Nothing (grades 3-6 & 7-12)– Shakespeare campers tackle a new play this summer!
Acting on Screen + Picture Up – Back for a second year, these tandem film camps let campers choose between acting on film or being the filmmaker for a whole week.
