Guelph parents looking for a creative summer activity for their children can now enroll them in a brand-new musical theatre camp coming to the city in July. Today4U Productions is hosting its first Story 2 Stage summer camp from July 20 to 24, 2026, at Guelph Little Theatre on Morris Street.
The week-long camp is open to children ages 5 to 13 and costs $335 per camper. No previous theatre experience is needed. Organizers say all that is required is imagination, curiosity, and a love of storytelling. Camp runs daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Through singing, dancing, acting, and creative storytelling, campers will work together to bring an original Oz-inspired story to life. The program is designed to build confidence and performance skills in a supportive environment. The week finishes with an informal showcase where children will perform original scenes and music for family and friends.
Today4U Productions was founded during the COVID-19 pandemic by four local theatre enthusiasts who met through the established Guelph musical theatre company Royal City Musical Productions Incorporated. The founders—Karen Allen, Sue Lawrenson, Meghan Barron, and Tyler Livingstone—saw a need for more youth programming in Guelph.
The camp will be held at Guelph Little Theatre, a volunteer-run venue at 176 Morris Street that has been producing amateur theatre in Guelph since 1935.
