POLARIS PRODUCTIONS · NYC · SUMMER 2026

Your kid will talk about this summer for years.

A three-week NYC theater camp culminating in four real off-Broadway performances – for kids and teens ages 7-18. No auditions. No experience necessary.

Midtown Manhattan · Ages 7–18 · July 6–26, 2026 · No auditions · 18 years of NYC families

Fair warning: they will come home singing the songs. Every day. For weeks.

THE FEAR EVERY PARENT HAS

Worried they’ll lose interest after the first week?

It’s the most common thing parents tell us before they sign up. Here’s what actually happens:

“My daughters came home after the very first day asking if they could sign up again for the following year.”

— Camp parent, two-time returning family

And they’re not alone. Here’s what multiple families — independently — told us about their kids and camp:

★★★★★

“Each one loved going to camp every day. They came away with amazing friendships, a phenomenal show, and a HUGE desire to return next summer.”

— Parent of three campers, ages 7–10

★★★★★

“My son loved attending camp and was eager to go every day. We were absolutely blown away by the final performances, which were incredibly professional.”

— Camp parent, Matilda production

★★★★★

“My children didn’t want it to end. This experience will shape them for life.”

— Camp parent, two-time returning family

WHAT THREE WEEKS ACTUALLY DOES

Three weeks. A real stage. Real results.

This isn’t arts and crafts with a curtain call. Over three weeks, your child learns, rehearses, and performs a full musical — with costumes, lighting, and an audience of families who came to see a show.

“On the first day, my children were afraid to even say their names. After just 3 weeks, they were singing, dancing, and acting onstage for multiple shows. They didn’t want it to end.”

— Camp parent (children ages 5 and 6)

What they gain aren’t just performance skills. Every testimonial we’ve ever received mentions the same things: friendships, confidence, and the discovery of what they’re capable of.

The director matters. Meet LeCee.

Polaris Productions is not a franchise or a corporate program. LeCee built it, runs it, and is there every day.

“LeCee has a gift for identifying each child’s talents and bringing them out.”

ABOUT THE TUITION

Is $2,000 a lot? Here’s the math.

Three weeks of full-day programming adds up to more hours — and more value — than it might first appear.

115

Total hours of instruction, rehearsal and performance

~$17

Per hour — comparable to quality NYC childcare

4

Real off-Broadway performances included in tuition

At roughly $17 per hour, it compares to quality childcare — except your child comes out having performed on a real stage, made real friends, and discovered what they’re capable of.
