About Missoula Children's Theatre at CHP

Registration for the 2026 Missoula Children's Theatre Camps begins March 1st at 6p.m. and will be entirely online again this year.  We will post the link to the registration form on this page when registration opens.

Our annual summer Missoula Children's Theatre camps are a great opportunity for children who have completed grades K-12.  (Children must have completed kindergarten in order to attend.)

The camps provide a week-long summer day camp experience run by professional actors for up to 60 children. Children audition on Monday morning, are assigned parts before lunch, and begin rehearsals by that same afternoon. On Friday night and Saturday morning, after only a week of rehearsals, they present two performances (usually a fairy tale with a twist!), complete with costumes, props, and sets.

We have two summer day camps each year, one in Mathews and one in Middlesex. They are open to children who have completed grades K-12 and who are committed to attending all week.

Registration Info:

Registration this year will be entirely online.  We will open the link to our Google form for registration in early spring.  Please note that completing the form does NOT guarantee your spot in the camp.  You will receive a follow-up email with instructions to pay the registration fee and your child's spot is reserved when payment is received.  Camp spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis and spots typically fill quickly.  We will maintain a waitlist once all camp openings are filled and you will be informed if your child has been placed on that waitlist.

Camp Information:

Camp begins Monday through Thursday at 9:30 a.m. Children ages 5 to 7 stay until noon, while children who are at least 8 years old by the Monday that camp begins stay until 2 p.m. All students bring a packed lunch.

On Friday, students come after lunch (around 2:00 p.m.), participate in one final rehearsal, eat a heavy snack in costume at 5 p.m. and then perform for an audience at 6 p.m.

On Saturday morning,  students arrive by 10 a.m.,  get into costume and makeup, and prepare for their performance that day.

Additional mini workshops are available on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, lasting until 3:00 p.m. for those who participate

Payment for the camp is due at the time of registration, but partial scholarships are available to help offset the cost of the camp for those with financial need.  The registration fees for camp are $90 per student, $80 for additional siblings.  You may apply for one scholarship per child (covering one week of camp) or up to two scholarships per family.

Performances are always open to the public.  Tickets are available in advance and at the door.  Both shows will have performances at 6:00 on Friday night and at 11 a.m. on Saturday morning.

The CHP History Committee is preparing a digital archive of programs from past performances.  These programs are available here.
 
If you are looking for a program that is not available here, please check back later, as new programs are being added to the collection regularly.
 
If you have a copy of one or more programs that are not already in our archive, we would love to borrow these.  We will convert them to digital versions and then return the originals to you unharmed.
