| Not a pre-college program, but there's a WONDERFUL arts camp in Ontario: http://www.centauri.on.ca/.
My daughter attended for two summers and loved each and every minute of it. | |

| I second the recommendation of Centauri. I know many kids who have gone there and I've never heard a negative thing about it. The kids love it! They attract campers from all over the U.S. and Canada, and one year that one of my Ds was there, there were kids from Mexico and a couple of Latin American countries. It's a great place! They have a wonderful tour at the end of the summer with senior kids to Europe to perform. Great experience. | |

| Alwaysamom...perhaps our kids know each another! My d did the last two international tours (Ireland in 2004 and England/Wales in 2005). It is really a wonderful program. | |

| thanx a bunch about your information!
when i looked at the pictures it seemed less intense and
intense programing is what i needed seeing as im in grade 11 and
university auditions will be comming up shortly. Would you still recommend this program to me? hmm if not are there any other you know of??
Im interested in this europe tour thing could you explain this to me? would this cost me extra to do? and on the site it said that their musical theatre program is all full for 2006.. is it likely that it would be full so early?!??!?! | |

| As wonderful as the program is, I don't think it tries to be college prep-oriented and it probably wouldn't meet those specific needs (audition training, etc.) directly. I'm sorry, I don't know of any college-prep programs in Canada, but you might want to start with the universities in your area and see what they offer.
Re the International Tour -- I don't think they're doing one in 2006. The camp owners/directors are about to become new parents and the logistics were just too difficult with a brand new baby. There is an extra cost associated with the tour, but it's pretty reasonable.
Re Musical Theatre filling up -- yes, it's pretty common for their most popular programs to fill as soon as they're announced. My daughter was on a waitlist for a couple of years before she got a spot on the tour. But, it was worth the wait! | |

| OCU 3 week summer program for HS students is highly recommended (I think it is called vocal arts academy). I think they may start in June this next summer. This program is reasonably priced, offers the opportunity for you to work with the regular excellent faculty in the college program, offers intensive classes all day every day (except weekends) in all areas of MT, and includes working nights and weekends on a musical production that is performed at the end of camp. It was absolutely a life changing experience. More was posted last July / August on a summer program thread. | |

| Johnnydude,
My d is applying to CMU's pre-college program. It's 6 weeks from June 24 - August 4, and definitely intensive from what we have heard. Also very costly and they offer NO scholarships to this program. I am sure some other parents who's children have attended will chime in or you can search past posts. The applications are up online at www.cmu.edu/enrollment/pre-college/
It offers a lot in terms of audition prep for college auditions and my d is also a junior. She filled out the paperwork and is having her counselor write his rec now so we can get it in after the holidays. But I don't think it is due until May 1st.
Good luck!!!

| I did the CMU pre-college program this summer and it really was the best thing I ever did! The classes were fabulous and the friends I made are just the most wonderful people I could ever meet. If anyone wants more info and has questions about the program, feel free to PM me! | |

| Check out your state's Governor's School. My son attended the one in PA for dance and found the experience to be life changing! He highly recommends this training. It's free but does require several auditions. | |
