We're delighted to introduce two Drama Camp options to our summer camps offering! There are two one-day workshops for those going into Years 7 to 10 in September 2025 to hone acting skills and there is also a week-long option for those going into Years 4-8. Please note these camps are non-residential.
These camps will be led by Shiplake's LAMDA teacher, Mrs Amber Lucazeau, with the support of Shiplake visiting singing teacher Verity Auty for the Musical Theatre week.
PLEASE NOTE: The drama camps require a minimum number of 8 children to run - if we do not reach the minimum numbers and have to cancel the camp we will contact you and issue a full refund.
