North & South Shore: MCT provides young performers the incredible opportunity to make lifelong camp memories on the shores of Flathead Lake while gaining invaluable musical theatre skills. North and South Shore campers rehearse musical revue selections that are woven together to create a full-scale, choreographed musical theatre production at the MCT Center for the Performing Arts in Missoula.

East Shore: A great introduction to the MCT PAC program, this one-week skills camp focuses on teaching and honing campers’ abilities in singing, dancing, and acting.
