Theatre summer camp at Najjar Academy is more than just fun and games, it's a powerful tool for personal growth. Through acting, movement, voice, and storytelling, kids develop self-confidence, creativity, empathy, and teamwork.
Each week offers a new theme that encourages them to express themselves, explore emotions, and build valuable communication skills in a playful and supportive environment.
It’s a space where every child gets to shine, be heard, and discover the joy of performance.
