Dive into an unforgettable adventure with our Finding Nemo KIDS theatre camp! This exciting program brings Disney and Pixar's beloved underwater tale to life on stage. Aspiring young actors will embark on a journey alongside Nemo, Marlin, Dory, and all their ocean friends as they prepare to perform this heartwarming musical.

This enriched program is designed for campers to promote independence and self-confidence all while making new friends and learning exciting new skills. This performance program is for theater enthusiasts who want to experience the production of a play from beginning to end. In the mornings, campers take music, dance, improv, and acting classes, and in the afternoons they rehearse their full-scale production of Finding Nemo KIDS, as a result it is imperative that campers attend camp every day.

Featuring memorable songs such as “Just Keep Swimming,” “Fish Are Friends Not Food,” and “Go With the Flow,” Finding Nemo KIDS brings a vibrant underwater world to life on stage in a story full of family, friendship, and adventure.

Music and Lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, book adapted by Lindsay Anderson, music and orchestrations adapted and arranged by Myrna Conn. Based on the 2003 Disney / Pixar film Finding Nemo written by Andrew Stanton, Bob Peterson, David Reynolds and directed by Andrew Stanton.
