With Middle School camp coming to a close, 240+ campers will be delivering their final performances every night from Wednesday to Friday at the Sitka Performing Arts Center. The campers will be showcasing everything they learned during their stay, which will include physical theater, dance and visual arts.

“It’s really some of the most driven, exciting and talented youth of Alaska and also all over the country too. It’s really fun to watch them get ready,” Roger Schmidt said.

Following the performances, Jazz on the Waterfront will take place Saturday, July 1, in the Odess Theater at 7 pm. Guests will enjoy dinner and live musical entertainment by the Sitka Fine Arts Camp Big Band. Tickets are $65 at Old Harbor Books or by calling 747-3085.
