Who thrives here Ages 5–7
Theatrix is well suited to lower-elementary campers who can sit through a 30-minute activity block but still need movement breaks every hour. performing arts content lands when it's framed as play first, instruction second; this age responds to friend-group continuity more than to specific skill outcomes.

Frequently asked about Theatrix
- What ages does Theatrix accept?
- Theatrix is open to children ages 5–7. Camps publish their own age cutoffs, and some run mixed-age groups internally; check the registration page for that summer's grouping if your child sits at a boundary.
- How much does Theatrix cost?
- Theatrix publishes $745/week for the standard session. That sits 37% above the $545 median for performing arts camps in Los Angeles — typical for specialty programs with smaller groups or premium facilities. Final cost depends on session length, sibling discounts, and whether extended care is added on.
- What are Theatrix's hours?
- Theatrix runs 8:30 AM - 4:00 PM (drop-off 8:30-9:00, programming 9:00 AM-3:30 PM, pick-up 3:30-4:00). If those hours don't quite cover your work day, check whether extended care or early drop-off is offered separately.
- Who runs Theatrix?
- Theatrix is operated by a university program. The operator type matters for tuition policy (refunds, financial aid eligibility) and for what kind of staff training pipeline the camp uses.
- Does Theatrix provide lunch?
- Theatrix does not include lunch — campers bring their own. Most day camps without provided lunch are nut-free or nut-aware, so check the allergy policy before packing. Frozen water bottles double as ice packs and drinks; insulated lunch boxes hold below 40°F for about four hours.
- How does Theatrix compare to other performing arts camps in Los Angeles?
- Theatrix is one of 128 performing arts camps in Los Angeles that overlap its age range. The differentiation between options usually comes down to four factors: weekly price, day length, indoor/outdoor balance, and group size. Browse same-city alternatives in the directory to compare side by side.
