We are a unique, universally fun, Catholic theater arts camp!
Acting, dancing, singing, music, set design, and staging! Peers and professionals enlighten, educate, inspire, and share our faith. CLASP builds confidence and creativity and allows you to discover and develop your gifts and talents! No prior music/acting/dance or theater experience is necessary. We have a great team of Catholic educators, dancers, choreographers, choir-masters, directors, acting coaches, religious, and priests.
The program is located at Mt. Alvernia Retreat Center in Wappingers Falls and St. Martin de Porres School, Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
CLASP is for teens (rising 9th – 12th graders) & adults.
Jr. CLASP is for elementary and middle school students.

"Highlights of CLASP were meeting and talking to faith-filled youth and adults and being surrounded by people who are truly seeking to grow in their faith."
"In CLASP I learned that God really exists. You can see it in the people being so open and nice, and in how everyone can become a family in a week. I'm definitely coming next year!"
"The way CLASP includes all participants (adults and kids) with God in prayer, in teamwork, is excellent."
"A highlight was feeling God's warmth in my heart at adoration, as well as having a family away from home."
