YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: History: Over twenty-five years ago, Cynthia Donavin founded Classical Ballet Theatre (CBT), which today includes a classical ballet and contemporary dance training academy as well as performance companies. The not-for-profit organization has shared its love of the performing arts with thousands of students and patrons. It has presented beloved, classical ballets, such as "The Nutcracker," "Cinderella," "Sleeping Beauty," "Swan Lake," and "Coppelia" as well as original productions, such as "Tom Sawyer." It has maintained an outstanding faculty, and it has developed young artists who have been able to pursue careers in the theater at every level of excellence. In response to the demands of Fairfax County, CBT expanded its training programs, scholarships, and outreach efforts, which has resulted in its growth and establishment as a highly respected educational and performing arts organization in the Washington Metropolitan Area.

Mission: CBT provides education, performance, and outreach opportunities in the art of dance.

Education: CBT provides the highest caliber of classical ballet and contemporary dance training and coaching, affords classes to dancers of all ages and abilities, and prepares dancers for careers in the performing arts. The children's program emphasizes pre-professional achievement, with each instruction level crafted to provide comprehensive training in order to produce the high quality dancer for which CBT is known. In addition to academy classes, training includes master classes with industry leaders, Youth America Grand Prix coaching, dance conditioning specialties, summer intensives, and choreography camps. The adult program offers stretch classes, core conditioning, and classical training, and it often serves local and visiting professional dancers.

Performance: CBT provides exceptional classical ballet and contemporary dance performance opportunities, while offering professional quality productions to the community at affordable prices. Productions include beautiful choreography and some of the best, pre-professional talent in the area. CBS DC named CBT as one of the “best places to see ballet in the DC area.“

Outreach: CBT's extensive community outreach includes free performing arts enrichment programs for local schools, organizations, and underserved populations, as well as tribute performances that raise public awareness for worthy causes and/or honor members of the community. CBT also offers educational backstage tours, complimentary tickets to underserved populations, and performance discounts to scouts, military families, children, and seniors.

Goals: CBT has three main goals on which it consistently focuses:

To share its love of the performing arts by fulfilling the mission of the organization to the best of its ability and to incorporate ongoing program development and improvement to ensure the identification and fulfillment of student and community needs in innovative ways;

To instill core values of integrity, honesty, inclusion, respect, care, and excellence in its students; and

To serve as Northern Virginia's premier classical ballet and contemporary dance instruction academy and performance theatre and to be recognized nationally and internationally for developing future dancers who are mentally, physically, and emotionally capable of success.

CAMP FACILITIES: Campers live in modern cozy dorm rooms (electricity, AC, and bathrooms – flush toilets & showers!) with 2-3 close-age peers. Each floor is unique, but all include common areas — inside with big comfy couches for relaxing, memorizing lines, and hanging out with your friends.

Staff live in private rooms on each floor so that they are nearby, attentive, and available, while still allowing campers an appropriate level of privacy.

Adventure surrounds us! There’s a river, running trails, a basketball court, a volleyball court, riverside firepits for s’mores, and a meadow for stargazing!

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Traveling Players’ theatre camps & conservatories are small by design and awarded for excellence. The National Endowment for the Arts places Traveling Players in the top 25 in the nation for summer arts training.

Each cast only has 13-14 actors and 2-3 tech students, ensuring everyone receives exceptional, individualized training. The result? Real transformation, a tight & supportive ensemble, and a 70% retention rate.

Our students don’t just shine on stage, however. They shine off stage – with remarkable growth in independence, confidence, and close friendships that truly last – throughout middle and high school, and into college. That’s the Traveling Players difference. A kind, vibrant, joyful community where young artists are happy, can be themselves, and find “their people.”

Our holistic acting programs simultaneously ground kids in a connected community while expanding their understanding of the world. We give kids plenty of fresh air & exercise, complete with weekly campouts in tents & s’mores, and are completely unplugged! (We are phone free!)

“Patrick has gained incredible self-confidence, treasured friendships, and outstanding acting skills in his 4 years (and running) at Traveling Players. It’s a wonderfully supportive positive experience. The directors have an uncanny knack for knowing exactly what roles the students need for their growth and success.” – Erika, Patrick’s mother

Our auditions are first come, first decided. The sooner you audition/interview, the greater chance there is that space will still be available in the program you want. We’d love to welcome your child into our kind and vibrant community!

Founding Artistic Director Jeanne Harrison has taught for The Folger Shakespeare Library, Catholic University, University of Maryland-Baltimore County, Loyola University (MD), The Chapin School (NYC) and Interlochen Center for the Arts (MI), where she directed the Shakespeare program. Jeanne has worked in camping for 28 years, directed two other camps, is a certified Camp Director (American Camping Association), Wilderness First Responder (SOLO), and an Instructor with the American Red Cross.

CAMP FACILITIES: In each of our labs (Programming, Building, and Digital Media), each camper will have a computer and LEGO building kit. This one-to-one ratio allows for campers to take ownership over their projects, or collaborate with other campers on more elaborate endeavors.

Fun Bot Lab uses LEGO WeDo, NXT, and EV3 building kits with Mindstorms and Scratch programming software. Our Digital Media lab is set up with iPads for campers to make their own stop motion movies.

Each campus ample space for daily outdoor games and adventures. This includes special equipment for water activities, including a large inflatable slip&slide so our campers can take a break from computers and cool off in summer sun!

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Fun Bot Lab is the place where the rhythms of your child’s technical and creative potential will be harnessed for maximum growth in a technology camp experience they will never forget!

We use LEGO® Robotics for their unique ability to excite and motivate kids to grasp programming and engineering concepts, and place equal emphasis on celebrating the digital arts and creativity, all with fun themes like LEGO® Star Wars and LEGO® Super Heroes.

Fun Bot Lab is a Child Day Center licensed by the Virginia Department of Social Services, which means we adhere to the highest standards of childcare set by the Code of Virginia. Fun Bot Lab is also accredited by the American Camp Association.

We keep our facility clean and safe, and train our staff to safely administer medication and First Aid. If necessary, we make all necessary preparations for emergencies. We want you to feel secure knowing that your camper(s) are in good hands when they're in our care!

OTHER CAMP INFO: Fun Bot Lab has three program groups in 2016:

Micro Bots (rising K-1st grades)

Our youngest campers have a special program just for them, with a nurturing environment and tons of fun activities to promote programming and engineering skills, and foster creativity and storytelling!

Fun Bots - Mini Bots (rising 2nd grade) Big Bots (rising 3rd grade), Mega Bots (rising 4th Grade), and Giga Bots (rising 5th-8th Grade)

This is a great place for campers to explore a huge range of robotics and digital media activities and meet lots of new friends! Our skilled, welcoming, fun-loving staff can't wait to greet campers new and returning for another summer of Fun Bot Lab!
