IMP All Things Theatre Camp will start its sixth year on Monday, July 6. The camp is part of a year-round theatre program where kids ages six to 18 are given the opportunity to explore theatre. Held at the Edgartown School, IMP camp is about choice. Children are given the opportunity to choose their path as they explore all types of theatre. They can choose full or half-day options, one-week or two-week sessions and different types of theatre. A theme encompasses the work of each IMP camp session.
