3rd Annual Queen Academy
So many of our campers over the years have "graduated" from Princess Camp but aren't quite ready to leave behind the DBA tradition of Royal Week, so we've created a step up from Princess Camp with our Queen Academy! A great opportunity for our older campers to still experience the magic of being a Princess but in a bit more mature of a way! Each day will still focus on a different Princess and genre of dance along with our snack and craft time. However, in Queen Academy, we'll also spend some more time learning all the prim & proper ways the world of Royalty works.
