The show this year takes place at the fictional "Lincoln Academy" where jocks, nerds, brains, and snobs all compete for a spot to star in a reality show based on their school! Craziness, conflict, and ultimately happiness ensues in the fantastically fun musical production where everyone is a star!

Dear Ellen,Thank you so much for another wonderful camp this summer. Kaitlin loved it!!!! You know it's good when your 8 year old gets in the car at pick up and starts the conversation with, "Today was the coolest day ever!" I'm amazed by how much the kids learn in just a few days. Kaitlin is already talking about next year's camp. I'm sure if you offered 2 different themed camps a summer you would have no problem filling the slots. I think you do a remarkable job and you are surely making a positive impression in my daughter's life. Thanks and have a wonderful summer!

Ellen, Just a short note to thank you for the wonderful camp July 20th week. Michael and Kurtis both enjoyed it very much and it is definitely a big highlight in their summer. The show was wonderful. My husband and I are certainly glad you came to Richmond. Our church and community our very lucky to have your skills and enthusiasm.
Thank you again. ~Susan~ (children attended camp 2009)
