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.

CAMPER AGES: rising 1st to 12th grade
TYPE OF CAMP: Overnight/Sleepaway. two night sessions for Buddies in Christ/Special Needs Camp
CAMPER GENDER(S): Coed Campers.
AFFILIATION(S): Christian. Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Caroline Furnace Lutheran Camp & Retreat Center sits on 257 acres in the Shenandoah Valley. We offer eight weeks of Summer Camp to rising 1st through 12th graders. Campers experience daily worship and Bible study, plus a large range of activities. Campers can expect a week packed with fun! They'll get to swim, canoe, fish, creek walk, play small and large group games, challenge themselves on our low ropes course, hike, cook over a campfire, create crafts, learn archery, gain culinary skills, and explore the furnace ruins on camp property. Each week, Chaplains from supporting congregations join us in leading the campers in morning worship, Bible study, and campfire and evening devotion. Caroline Furnace combines small and large group -style camping in an outdoor, faith-filled setting, all to create an unforgettable summer camp experience for your camper.
SPECIAL NEEDS CAMPERS: Come experience camp together! Buddies in Christ camp is June 30-July 2 and July 2-4, and is designed for campers rising 1st to 12th grade who may not be able to come to camp on their own. We recognize that traditional summer camp has inherent demands that can make it difficult for campers with special needs - to include a busy schedule, high levels of activity, and uneven terrain. For Special Needs Camp, we work with each family to meet the needs of each individual.
Each camper comes for two nights with at least one parent. Buddies in Christ Camp is based in the Cabin Village. Group size is intentionally small (15 campers per session) to maximize individualized attention. Every camper has a high school or college aged "buddy" to guide them throughout the day. Parents are given optional free time on the second day of camp (July 1 or July 3, depending on session), and we will have parent activities and local business discounts available.
All camper activities are challenge by choice and include campfires, canoeing, fishing, swimming, yoga and play-based worship. Camp concludes with an optional family outing on the third day. The entire schedule is adapted to allow for longer transition times, flexibility, and more down time.
We feel it is important to discuss the realities of camp with each family, and what we can do to help each camper. The Cabin Village is wheelchair accessible, with two wheelchair accessible Cabins and accessibility to all common areas. There will most likely be two or three families per Cabin. The Cabins do not have air conditioning but we provide fans. The Cabin Village is wooded and nearly all activities will be accessed via trails. It can be humid and buggy during the day in the summer, with cool, dark nights.
CAMP INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES OFFERED:
Theater, Music/Band, Fine Arts/Crafts, Horses/Equestrian, Waterfront/Aquatics, Team Sports, Academics, Adventure, Travel, Wilderness/Nature, and more. Canoeing, Fishing, Archery, Hiking, Culinary, History, Caving, Rock Climbing,
