Established in 1955, Harand Camp was one of the nation's first co-ed, residential camps to combine SINGING, DANCING and ACTING with the FUN of traditional camp activities. Located on the campus of Carthage College in Kenosha, WI, Harand offers quality non-competitive musical theater training for campers ages 7 to 18.

First established in 1955, Harand Camp's unique method of teaching has helped countless alumni develop poise and confidence. Harand began as a Chicago children's studio founded by sisters Sulie & Pearl Harand. Pearl, a former member of the Chicago Repertory Theatre, taught drama, while Sulie, known for her incomparable one-woman interpretations of classic musicals, taught voice.
It is our goal for ALL campers to develop skills in the performing arts AND build self-confidence & self-esteem. We welcome all levels of experience and do not require auditions for admission. In preparation for final performances, campers take daily classes in singing, dancing & acting. Occasional rehearsals are held in the evening (alternating with other activities).
While Harand Camp offers an intensive and immersive arts program, we have also been able to set ourselves apart by adhering to a philosophy of inclusion and a non-competitive spirit. We place a premium on social development and uphold the ideals of "No Man is an Island" in everything we do - from camp & cabin unity to our theater program -.
Scholarships: Full and Partial Scholarships are available through the Harand Camp Scholarship Fund. The HCSF offers a sliding scale of aid to low- and middle-income families. We accept Checks (payable to Harand Camp of the Theatre Arts), Visa & Mastercard. A 2% service charge will be applied to all credit card payments after the initial $500 deposit.
