I have been told that I am a very gifted actress, and my drama teacher said that I should get into theatre camp, but I live with my dad, and money is tight. I really want to go to theatre camp, but all the places I looked at are day camps that cost way too much money. (my dad has a tough job and cant drive me to and from camp so it would have to be an overnight camp) any ideas what I should do?

Or are there nearby stores that you could work at? try to find a job that you will enjoy and at the same time will earn you enough money to go to camp. As far as getting there, as your neighbors. If you do all that work for them, they can't help but say okay.

Lizzy answered Monday April 5 2004, 2:41 pm: I have the same problem with singing camp. you should get a job that pays about 50 a week like waitressing or just do a lot of babysitting. Some camps only cost about 100 so if you just work for a month, u could seriosly get some realy cash. Don't spend it on anything else though

alpha answered Monday April 5 2004, 1:47 pm: A lot of performing arts camps offer scholarships to kids who need financial assistance. Most of these camps have websites, and you should be able to find out there if financial aid is available. You should get right on that, though, because the deadlines may be coming up.
If you can't get a scholarship through the camp, organizations in your community may offer something. Ask your drama teacher, or your school guidance counselor, and see if they have any tips.
Depending how old you are, you might also be able to raise some money by getting a job for after school, and for the part of the summer that you wouldn't be at camp. I doubt you'd be able to pay for the whole thing yourself, but you could probably make a bit of a dent. [ alpha's advice column | Ask alpha A Question ]
