We are located on the shores of Lake Michigan
at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Some of the great campus amenities include:
 400-seat, state-of-the-art theatre
 Dormitories overlooking the lake
 Olympic-size, indoor swimming pool
 Dance Studio & Athletic Center
 Delicious Food by Sodexo
EVERYONE is a STAR!
It is our goal for every camper to
develop skills in the performing arts,
while building self-confidence and
learning how to live with one another
in an atmosphere of acceptance.
In preparation for final shows, campers
take daily classes in singing, dancing,
and acting from our professional staff.
Each camp session culminates with a
major performance for friends, family,
and alumni in our state-of-the-art
theatre. No auditions required.

activities as first session campers,
concluding in a Workshop featuring
selections from the session's Pageant.

Participate in a full-length musical
revue involving the entire camp.

Unlike at other camps, everyone
regardless of skill, performs a lead
role and in the ensemble – ensuring

"I went to Harand for 7 years
and my son went for 5.
Harand is the best experience
a young person can ever have.
Harand builds self-esteem,
confidence and inclusion,
while providing an enriching
experience for every camper.
The roles are divided, so
everyone has a chance to
shine on stage. I have had
friendships for over 40 years
because of Harand. The
memories your child will take
with them are priceless."
– Parent / Alumni Review,
Camp Ratingz
"We could not have chosen
a better camp for our daughter!
Harand is a magical place that
takes children from every skill
level and turns them into stars.
The environment is warm and
nurturing. The activities are
exciting and non-competitive.
My daughter was originally signed
up for 3 weeks but called and
begged us to let her stay 3 more!
Harand made my daughter feel
like a star! She talks about camp
all of the time and cannot wait
to return this summer!!!"

“Harand is like living
the dream for me…
How many places in
the world can you go
as a kid and get
fulfillment performing
in plays…and still get
to play sports all day…?
I will never forget
that magical place.
