“I was so impressed with Dean and how he keeps the students interested and engaged” “Best summer ever” and “I just love singing and acting”

This year MCF provided 5 Bursaries for students to attend Dean Hollin’s Musical Theatre Camp, this is his 9th summer teaching at Meaford Hall. After 2 weeks of learning all aspects of theatre the children showcase their skills on stage for everyone to see. These students learn to work together and take direction. Learning how to express yourself is an important life lesson, and having the support of your peers gives the encouragement needed.
