Stage Camp in Singapore - Creative Story-Making for Every Child

At SRT, Stage Camp isn’t about giving children a script and telling them what to do. Instead, we hand them the creative reins. Using a devised-based process, children collaborate to dream up characters, craft stories, and contribute to a performance they help create. This approach encourages teamwork, imagination, and confidence as they shape a show that is uniquely theirs. 

The week isn’t focused on “getting it right” for the stage - it’s about exploring ideas, making choices, and discovering how stories come to life. Along the way, they develop problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration skills in an environment where creativity is celebrated and everyone’s voice matters. 

Learning Through Creative Play
 
Drama is learning in disguise. Through improvisation, movement, and storytelling, children practise skills such as: 
  • Adaptability: adjusting ideas when new suggestions or challenges arise. 

  • Focus: listening closely and responding in the moment. 

  • Collaboration: combining different ideas to build something richer together. 

  • Self-expression: communicating feelings, thoughts, and perspectives in unique ways. 

Stage Camp is a place where these skills are lived, practised, and celebrated every day. 

Why the Process Matters 

At Stage Camp, what happens during the week is just as important as the final sharing with family and friends. In developing their own piece from scratch, children: 

  • Enhance their communication and narrative skills. 

  • Overcome creative challenges as a group, finding solutions together. 

  • Develop the confidence to share their ideas and listen to others. 

  • Build resilience when ideas change, evolve, or don’t go to plan. 

This process gives every child - whether naturally outgoing or more reserved - a role to play in shaping something that’s truly theirs. 

How Stage Camp Stands Out 

Stage Camp is led by experienced teaching artists who know how to make every child feel valued and included. Each week begins with a theme or story seed — sometimes inspired by a familiar tale, sometimes something entirely new — and grows through the children’s ideas, input, and imagination. 

We also offer Stage Camp in both English and Mandarin, giving families flexibility while adding a rich language-learning element to the creative process. 

At the end of the week, families are invited to watch the children’s collaborative creation - a joyful celebration of their ideas, hard work, and teamwork. 

A Stage for Every Age

Stage Camp offers activities tailored to two age groups, so children can learn and grow at the right pace.

For ages 4–7, little ones explore drama basics, self-expression, and teamwork, gaining confidence as they step onto the stage for the first time.

Kids aged 8–12 tackle more advanced skills, including creative problem-solving, leadership, and a variety of drama techniques like puppetry and physical theatre.

By tailoring activities to their developmental stage, every child is encouraged to contribute, experiment, and discover their unique voice — making Stage Camp a place where budding actors can thrive and shine.

Why Families Love Stage Camp 

Parents tell us their children leave Stage Camp: 

  • More confident in sharing ideas with others. 

  • Better at working as part of a group. 

  • Excited about storytelling and creative problem-solving. 

It’s not just a holiday activity - it’s a week of discovery, creativity, and growth. 

A Stage for Every Child 

Whether your child has years of drama experience or is stepping into their first workshop, Stage Camp offers a safe, inspiring space to explore, create, and surprise themselves with what they can achieve. With dedicated camps for ages 4–7 and 8–12, every child is supported with activities tailored to their stage of growth. So everyone gets the chance to shine.
