"You're Gonna Hear Me Roar!" - Inside the Birch Trail Musical Auditions 

What happens when you mix a birthday celebration, a pasta bar dinner, and the excitement of theatrical auditions? You get pure Birch Trail magic! In this special episode of the Birch Trail Podcast, we take a trip to the theater building to interview some of our incredibly talented (and enthusiastic!) campers as they prepare for the camp musical.

From center-stage singers to the creative minds bringing the backstage props to life, this episode is a front-row seat to the confidence, joy, and independence our campers build every single day.

Join us as we explore:

  • The thrill of the audition: Hear firsthand from campers like Billy on what it feels like to step up to the microphone and chase their goals.
  • Belting out the classics: Listen to Maddie's wonderful (and brave!) rendition of Katy Perry's Roar right in the interview chair.
  • The power of collaboration: Why roles behind the scenes—like Delia’s plan to craft cardboard school sets in arts and crafts—are just as vital and exciting as being on stage.
  • How camp fosters self-expression: Why Birch Trail is the perfect, supportive environment for kids to try new things, step out of their comfort zones, and celebrate each other.

Tune in to hear the laughter, the songs, and the genuine excitement of camp life in action!
