Camp Broadway Collection launches with 5 shows—and life skills to teach
Growing up outside Columbus, Ohio, Daniel Robey was a summer camp kid.
Church camp. Scout camp. Scout camp counselor. Program director. He even taught scout leaders to lead camps.
Starting in middle school, the camp kid was also a theater kid. He now teaches high school theater in Worthington, Ohio.
Take any town camp or church camp or make-fire-with-sticks camp and add theater, he says, and you’ve got something special.
“There are so many leadership skills that theater can teach, problem-solving skills that go really nicely with what's happening at a summer camp,” he says. “The art of theater is inherently a group project and a team sport and requires leadership and setting the example.”
Who better than Robey—with his feet firmly in the theater and camp worlds—to help shape Camp Broadway MyWay, a new program that makes it easy for camp directors to add theater to their programming? (Details at campbwaymyway.com.)
