Casting performers for a series of live-action, immersive experiences with children at an outdoor adventure summer camp. Summer 2026 is the year of VICIOUS CYCLES at Mythik Camps, where we will learn what it takes to do the impossible and break the cycles that hold us back, by exploring stories of the mythical heroes who did it before us. Think you've got what it takes to be one of those heroes? Then we'll see you this summer!

At Mythik Camps, with the help of talented performers like you, we bring ancient myths to life as modern, multicultural immersive stories for kids ages 7-12 to experience in a fun, outdoor summer camp environment. Each week of camp is a new Quest, and each Quest plunges campers into the center of the action as demigods trying to prove themselves as legendary heroes. Quest adventures are full of (foam) sword fights, magic spells and potions, puzzles to solve and negotiations to navigate as they journey to save the world from evil forces from the mythological world.
