Why Choose Nix Academy's Children's Summer Camp in Kingston?

Let's be honest – the summer holidays are LONG! Finding quality activities that genuinely engage children while developing their skills can feel like mission impossible. That's where we come in!

At Nix Academy, we're not just babysitters with jazz hands (though our jazz hands ARE pretty awesome!). We're dedicated performing arts educators who understand how theatrical training builds confidence, communication skills, teamwork, and creativity – all while your children are having so much fun and making friends they won't even realise they're learning!

Our CATS summer camp offers:

  • Total Immersion: Not just a few hours of singing games, but a complete production experience
  • Professional Guidance: Our team brings West End and professional performance experience
  • Confidence Building: Nothing builds self-esteem like conquering stage fright and receiving that first round of applause
  • New Friendships: Theatre creates unique bonds as children work together toward a common goal
  • Screen-Free Fun: A whole week of creative, active engagement – no devices required!
  • A Finished Product: Unlike some activities where parents wonder what actually happened all day, you'll see the spectacular results in our Friday performance!

A Typical Day at Our CATS Summer Camp

Morning might begin with energetic warm-ups and vocal exercises (prepare for your child to demonstrate these ENTHUSIASTICALLY at home!), followed by dance rehearsals where they'll learn to move like graceful (or mischievous!) cats.

After a lunch break filled with theatrical games and activities, afternoons might involve character development, scene work, and putting all the elements together. As the week progresses, we'll add costumes, makeup, and technical elements until – VOILÀ! – a complete show emerges!

Throughout it all, our priority is creating a supportive, encouraging environment where every child feels valued and important to the production.
