Theatre summer camps in India play a pivotal role in shaping children’s holistic development by offering unique opportunities to explore creativity, build confidence, and develop essential life skills. This research article examines the significance of summer camps tailored specifically for children in the Indian theatre domain. By reviewing existing literature and practical experiences from India, we highlight the transformative impact of theatre summer camps on children’s personal growth, artistic expression, and social connections.
