Summer Program

DYPAC’s Summer Program will NOT be going on as usual this summer. We feel the mitigation of the virus is unknown and for the health and safety of all and planning and fiscal responsibilities, we will not have the summer program this year. If magically, this virus is gone and all is safe, we will create some alternate programming!
Newsies and We Are Monsters/Musicville and Legally Blond are postponed until we know when we can safely place them. We appreciate your understanding!

Our 2019 Summer Program had 187 young people sharing the joy of the  arts!  Summer 2020 will run June 23-Aug 1 2020. Our 2020 Program is altered due to the pandemic and currently cancelled.

It is a six week summer program that runs three days a week.
Parent’s may choose by the class and each class is 45minutes long. Parents may choose a single class or a full day of classes.
There is a choice of at least 4 classes per 45minute session.
Earliest drop off is 8am. Latest Pick up is 6pm.
