The camp caters to children aged 5-14, divided into 'Broadway Bound' (ages 5-7) and 'Broadway Stars' (ages 8-14) groups.

Who thrives here Ages 9–18
Broadway Spotlight fits middle-elementary campers — old enough for skill-building to land, young enough that friend-group dynamics and counselor warmth still matter more than program rigor. Parents at this age band tend to prioritize a balanced rhythm of structured activity and unstructured play, which is the actual differentiator inside any given theater/music program.
