Summer is just around the corner, and with it comes a long 6-8 week break from your usual income and dance lesson routine.
Why not full that space with a well organized and fun summer camp? Whilst many dance studios and schools see the summer as a break and an opportunity to complete various summer studio maintenance checklist jobs, it's also a great opportunity to make additional revenue, attract new students, and encourage your students in a new environment.

One of the best things about running a summer camp is the creative freedom it gives you. You can shape it to suit your studio, your team, and your dancers.
Want to run a week-long street dance intensive? Go for it.
Prefer a ballet-focused camp with daily technique and choreography sessions? Perfect.
Thinking of a month-long camp that meets just twice a week? That works too.
The key is to design something that feels exciting, manageable, and, most importantly, appealing to your target market. What would grab the attention of your current families, or attract new dancers through the door?

Quick Fire: What To Organize
Location
Venue. Do you already have your own space, or do you need to hire somewhere? You’ll need more than just a dance studio, think breakout areas, toilets, and somewhere for meals or snacks.Team
Who’s running the camp with you? Make sure your team has a good mix of skills, ballet, street, and choreography, as well as the general day-to-day running of the camp.Activities & Structure
What’s on the agenda? Will there be a theme, an end-of-camp performance, or guest choreographers? Are you introducing new styles or working on technique?Age Groups
What ages is your camp for? Will you split into age bands or run a mixed-age format?Spaces
How many dancers can you realistically (and safely) take?

Get Your Summer Camp Filled
Start by telling your current students all about it. Chat after class, send messages in WhatsApp groups, drop an email, or put up some flyers. Keep mentioning it too, because once a few students sign up, others won’t want to miss out.
Try a referral deal: if a student brings a friend who’s not already part of your studio, the referee gets a discount on their summer camp costs. It’s a great way to spread the word.
Don’t forget to talk to local schools and clubs. They might help you get the word out to families in your area.
And be sure to post about your camp on your website, social media, local community pages, and notice boards. The more places you share, the better!
By doing some of these (or all), you will soon see your summer camp filling up.
