Adventures in Agrabah invites young explorers into a sun‑soaked world of wonder, where bustling marketplaces, hidden caves, and shimmering palaces set the stage for a summer filled with imagination and discovery. Campers step into the legendary city of Agrabah to uncover ancient secrets, build new friendships, and embark on daily quests that spark creativity and confidence all while singing, dancing, and acting! A final performance will be held on the final camp day. What Campers Experience
