From Summer Camp to Centre Stage: Keep the Magic Going!

What a summer it was at SMASH! Our South Surrey studio came alive every week with music, laughter, brand new friendships and more confidence than we could fit through the door. Thank you to every family who shared part of their summer with us.

What our campers accomplished in just five days

Every SMASH camp runs Monday to Friday and ends with a showcase for family and friends. In a single week, our campers:

  • learned full routines and fast-paced choreography
  • memorized songs and vocal harmonies
  • created characters through acting games and scene work
  • performed live for a room full of family and friends

Our youngest performers spent the summer in some truly magical places, from a tower full of floating lanterns to the Emerald City, an island voyage and a fairytale ballroom. You can relive their adventures in our Sparks summer camp recap.

Our Rising STARS campers (ages 10 to 14) dove into camps inspired by Into the Woods, Wicked, Mean Girls and Disney's Zombies.

Why one week can change so much

Camp moves fast. There is no time to wait until you feel ready, so kids learn to try, adjust and try again. By Friday, the camper who quietly said their name on Monday is singing in front of a full room. Watching that jump in confidence is one of our favourite parts of every summer.

Keep the magic going all year

If your child came home from camp singing in the car, imagine what they could do with a full season. Camp is a taste of what happens at SMASH every week of the year.

The Spotlight Academy: full-year programs (ages 6 to 18)

The Spotlight Academy runs September to May with weekly classes in singing, acting and dance, and every level finishes the season with a musical on a professional theatre stage. Younger performers start in Sparks (ages 6 to 9), and Rising STARS (ages 10 to 13) bring a musical to life on stage. No auditions. Our 2026/2027 full-year programs are full, but the waitlist is open.

The STAR Collective (ages 4 to 13)

Looking for a lighter commitment? The STAR Collective offers 10-week musical theatre classes in Fall, Winter and Spring. Each session ends with an in-studio showcase, there is no audition and no costume fee, and every session starts with a 2-week trial: full refund if it's not a fit.
