One hundred children from Western New York will take center stage as Shea's Performing Arts Center presents CAMP BROADWAY at Shea's Performing Arts Center in the summer of 2008. The five-day performing arts summer day camp is for children ages 10 - 17 and is directed by Broadway theatre professionals who provide instruction in voice, acting, and dance. Choosing a summer performing arts program for your child is a very personal decision and involves the collaboration of parent and child together. We have included the following information to help you better understand our program.

CAMP BROADWAY is a theater arts education and audience development company based in New York City. CAMP BROADWAY is committed to making the performing arts accessible to children and teens by connecting theater professionals with young artists in original and creative ways. Our five-day performing arts program is the highlight of our year when theatre-loving kids are introduced to all aspects of Broadway in a professional, interactive, theatrical environment.

CAMP BROADWAY's summer program includes instruction in voice, acting, dance, movement and solo and ensemble singing while learning and rehearsing dialogue, musical numbers and dance routines for a featured Broadway musical of the week. It also includes our own Gypsy Showcase, which requires our campers to work together as a team to create an original theatrical piece that showcases both their inventiveness and individual talents. Finally, Master classes are scheduled throughout the week in which guest artists from Broadway provide Campers with interactive classes in their field of expertise. The week program culminates in the Family Finale, a final presentation for family and friends.

As is our tradition, the 2008 program will be filled with special surprises including a backstage tour of Shea's Performing Arts Center. Your child also receives an "official" T-shirt and a Broadway gift bag fit for a star.


Tuition for Camp Broadway is $550. An initial deposit of $275.00 is required with registration. The final balance is due before the start date of the camp.

"Come Home to Camp;" this is the heart of the Onyahsa experience- for the new camper or the veteran alumnus. Since its inception well over a century ago, YMCA Camp Onyahsa has been a refuge for youth and families. Then as now, it offers security, authenticity, peace, and exciting fun; as necessary today as ever. In a beautiful wooded setting, on the edge of the lake, we don't only enjoy recreation; we aim to "re-create" in the Great Outdoors.

Celebrating its 107th year in 2005, Camp Onyahsa offers an exciting, genuine, and rewarding experience for any camper. Nestled in its own wooded bay on northern Chautauqua Lake, we offer traditional camp sessions, specialty camps, academic programs, teen activities, leadership development programs, extensive waterfront classes, outdoor environmental education, and much more. Each of our weeks has a fun and educational theme as the focus of its activities, and is implemented by caring, committed and competent staff members.

Campers live in rustic single-sex, age-graded cabins, tents, or cab-ents (cabin-tents) under the supervision of carefully selected and trained staff members. The Camp's directors and health staff also reside on site, and provide 24 hour per day supervision, and the Camp has a staff to camper ratio of at least 1:8.

All campers participate together in our special activities, such as campfires, skits, Club Time, theme nights, Olympic games, village nights, and other all-camp programs. Meanwhile, through age-group cabin and tent living with their adult counselors, campers learn as members of small groups to share and live cooperatively. The activities and living areas are staffed with well-qualified and highly committed counselors, who share the goal of making a stay at Onyahsa a truly rewarding experience for all members of the Camp Community.

The Onyahsa mission is to foster the healthy Spiritual, Intellectual, and Physical well-being of Camp Participants from diverse backgrounds within a nurturing outdoor environment, while creating a meaningful sense of Community among them through an active learning experience.

Here we seek to encourage Spiritual growth- through a non-denominational stress on compassion, social justice, human rights, and the strengthening of faith in a loving Creator; Intellectual growth by fostering tolerance, self-awareness, and multi-cultural mutual understanding- the foundations of peace; Physical health, an appreciation for the gift of life and a responsibility to nurture it; and the creation of Community- an authentic experience of belonging created by diverse members who share traditional common values including honesty, caring, respect, and responsibility.

The Onyahsa experience is set in a beautiful, natural outdoor environment, and is fostered by committed, caring and competent staff members and volunteers. Our goal is to provide a genuine, safe, healthy, and happy camp experience for youth and families through life-enriching, "back-to-basics" organized summer and year-round programs.

Join us for this wonderful, exciting, and necessary experience. And whether it's for the first time or the hundredth, Come Home to Camp Onyahsa.
