Prepare to face off in a two-week grand battle of musical theatre masterpieces as you step into the world of the great Broadway heroes and villains! We will sing, dance, and swim our way through the Pride Lands of Simba and Scar, to the Emerald City with Dorothy and the Wicked Witch, visit the castle of the Beast with Gaston, and swim under the sea with Ariel and Ursula. Each morning, campers will focus on building skills in the areas of singing, acting, and dancing. After lunch, they will dive into show materials where they will explore a variety of characters and musical styles carefully chosen by our professional performing arts educators. The campers’ work will culminate in a showcase presentation on the last day of camp, when they will perform for friends and family.

Kick off summer with sun, splashes, and sandy fun as we jump into a week of beach-themed adventures, including pool days, water games, creek exploration and playtime on our very own beach at our LaBarque Campus. From sandcastle challenges to ocean-inspired crafts, this week is all about starting summer with big smiles and cool vibes—no ocean required! In addition to theme related activities, the focus will be on welcoming campers and getting comfortable with places and faces. Field trips will be taken to our sandy beach on our LaBarque Campus.

Get ready to push, pull, spin, zoom, and soar! Campers will explore the exciting world of forces and motion through age-appropriate experiments, creative challenges, outdoor games, and simple engineering projects. From building ramps and testing speed to launching objects and discovering how gravity, friction, and momentum work, kids will learn real science by doing. Every day blends STEM learning with play, teamwork, and imagination—because the best way to understand motion is to get moving! Field trips may include Arch Reactor or MADE by the Magic House

Paddles and Saddles is not only the longest running and most popular summer expedition that TCS has ever offered, but it also has the highest demand with both sessions typically selling out. For more than two decades our rising Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh graders have made life-long memories on this extremely fun and unforgettable trip. The first two days of camp will be spent having fun and building group unity through exploration, play, and swimming at two different shut-ins near St. Louis. Both are geologic wonders and create natural playscapes for enjoying the start of summer break. The second half of the week will be a 3-day/2-night expedition to Bass River Resorts where the group will stay in a lush, air-conditioned cabin each evening and spend two days rafting down the beautiful Courtois and Huzzah Rivers. Our final day will feature a morning horseback ride through the surrounding Mark Twain National Forest before a stop on the way home for a celebratory treat in Steelville, the “Floating Capital of Missouri”. Paddles and Saddles is an iconic TCS summer experience. By design we utilize whitewater rafts on this trip, because they provide the opportunity for developing adventurers to gain valuable paddling experience on moving water but in a purely fun and enjoyable way. It is the steppingstone that prepares them for the more technical and advanced summer expedition offerings that are available to our older students. The reason this trip has been talked about as almost a rite of passage for more than two decades is because, without fail, Paddles and Saddles is always a super fun, all-around wonderful experience and a perennial summer highlight for participants!
