Summer Camps at the Paramount encourage young people to explore acting, singing, dancing, creative writing, production design, songwriting and performance. 2023 Summer Camps will be hosted in convenient locations in North, West, and downtown Austin, but every session will still have their final day of camp and performance at the Paramount or Stateside Theatre – pizza dinner and film screening included! We will also offer early care and after care at full day camps.
