PLUS Camp registration opens at Delta State's Bologna Performing Arts Center
Registration is open for a one-week arts camp at Delta State’s Bologna Performing Arts Center. Children ages 5-11 will end the week with a choreographed song medley on the Delta and Pine Land Theatre stage.
Parents looking for a structured summer option in Cleveland now have a date, a price and a stage at the Bologna Performing Arts Center. PLUS Camp is open for registration at Delta State University’s campus arts facility, with the 2026 session set for July 13-18 and tuition listed at $250 per camper.
The one-week day camp is designed for children ages 5-11 and is grouped into three age levels: 5-6, 7-8 and 9-11. Campers will take Musical Song and Dance and Visual Arts and Crafts classes, and they will learn a choreographed medley of songs as the week goes on. The program is built around hands-on creativity and performance, giving younger children a clear finish line: a final presentation on the stage of the Delta and Pine Land Theatre inside BPAC.
That performance outcome is the part many families will notice first. Instead of a generic arts activity, PLUS Camp gives children a concrete showcase at a professional venue in Cleveland, something they can work toward over the course of the week and then carry home as a finished experience. For parents balancing work schedules, summer routines and the demand for low-stress activities, the camp offers an organized option close to home on the Delta State campus.
BPAC has long been part of the Janice Wyatt Mississippi Summer Arts Institute, and Delta State describes it as a program that has served the region for decades. The center itself, funded by the Mississippi legislature in 1994, spans 41,500 square feet and includes a theater with seating for just under 1,200 and a 145-seat recital hall, underscoring the scale of the arts environment children enter during the camp.
The program’s staying power is part of its appeal. A BPAC annual report said 108 children ages 5-12 attended PLUS Camp in July 2014, and Delta State archival material noted that it was in its 19th summer in 2015. That kind of history gives Cleveland-area families a familiar summer option with a track record, not a one-off activity.
