This fall, young performers are invited to let their talents shine in our Saturday Theatre Camp featuring Disney’s Frozen KIDS! Designed for ages 7-11, this extended weekend program gives students the chance to grow in confidence, creativity, and stage presence as they work toward a fully staged performance of the beloved musical. Over the course of the fall season, campers will spend Saturdays singing, dancing, acting, and building friendships in a fun, supportive environment. With iconic characters like Anna, Elsa, Olaf, and Sven—and favorite songs such as “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?” and “Let It Go”—this production offers an unforgettable theatre experience for both participants and audiences. Campers will be guided by experienced teaching artists who focus on skill-building, ensemble work, and personal expression. Along the way, they’ll explore teamwork, imagination, and the joy of bringing a story to life on stage. The program culminates in a final public performance that celebrates each camper’s hard work and growth. It’s the perfect way for young artists to step into the spotlight while making lasting memories. Enrollment is limited, so reserve your child’s place today for a magical fall filled with music, movement, and theatrical fun. For more information or to register, call 941-749-1111 or email [email protected].

The Chamber's Big Bank Theory program is designed to help build the financial literacy skills of high school students in Manatee County. Students are engaged in a hands-on, real-life financial simulation that introduces them to the realities of being a financially responsible adult.  It's sort of like playing the "Game of Life" during which the students have to balance a monthly budget by making smart decisions about their finances and expenses. (See the photos below.) As a volunteer, you will help students as they visit various stations representing typical expenses young adults need to navigate - like housing, transportation, food, clothing, and more. Students will make spending decisions while working to stay within their monthly budget. Each volunteer receives training and we make it EASY to help with the Big Bank Theory program! Two shifts are available for each day of the Big Bank Theory: a morning shift and an early afternoon shift. You can also sign up for an all-day shift (yay!) with lunch provided by our generous sponsors. Note: High school hours in Manatee County public schools are 7:30 AM - 2:25 PM. Our morning shifts are always our greatest need. We need you! Please sign-up for one or more shifts and for one or more of the schools we will bring the Big Bank Theory to during the 2025-2026 school year. It's easy and fun to volunteer and we need to fill more than 400 volunteer shifts.
