CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
Christine Mundy
UMPA PARENTI cannot thank you enough for this week! My kids have been to many Upper Merion camps over the years and this one BY FAR was the best one. From the clear communication about what to expect to the friendly faces on the staff each day, I cannot say enough good things about it. This is the first performing arts camp we tried and my daughter, Maeve, will absolutely attend next summer and plans to stay all day! She loved it so much. It was awesome to see her confidence grow this week. Keep up the good work!

UMPA PARENTMy daughter had a great time in UMPA camp this summer! She was a little nervous about being on stage but her castmates and the staff made her feel confident & provided a warm and fun experience. So impressed with the students and how much they accomplished in just a week - they put on quite a show!! We will definitely be back!!
Autumn Martini
UMPA PARENTMy daughter just participated in their first ever summer camp and I would give this program a 20 out of 10, hands down. My daughter has autism and can struggle in social situations, Daniel and the staff at UMPA went above and beyond to make sure she felt included and comfortable the entire week. She had an amazing time, to say the least. I was also astounded at the overall performance and what they were able to put together in just one short week. We cannot wait to do much more with UMPA!

UMPA PARENT/UMHS TEACHERMy daughter has participated in 3 productions with UMPA and each experience has been better than the one before. UMPA prioritizes fostering a love of theater and works to build each student’s confidence, no matter the size of their role. They foster a welcoming and supportive environment while still putting on quality performance opportunities. I highly recommend!
