Text Box: WELCOME to the Charleston Stage Company SUMMER ARTS CAMPS website! CSC’s Summer Arts Camps are designed to give students in grades K-12 quality hands-on experiences in the performing & visual arts through structured classes taught by professional artists. Projects prepared in each class are presented in a final showcase at the end of each camp. Founded by January Johnson-Wolfe in 1992, the camps have been successful for the past 15 years.
