As the Summer Camp Director, I had a wonderful experience teaching and growing relationships with the most amazing talented students. HCPAC is truly a perfect place to learn and grow both on and off the stage! I am so grateful for this ministry.

My son and I have been involved in one way or another at HCPAC since March 2021 and it has been AWESOME! The volunteers and staff are committed to the kids and youth in growing their life skills along with teaching theater. I love that my son enjoys making new friends and has a great experience with being in the plays, but on top of that I have seen the teams pour into him and the other kids! Confidence, faith, standing for what is good, having compassion and love- this is so much more than a theater- it's a ministry!

Sherry Webb is so incredibly welcoming to the students of the Vista School in our Pre- Employment Services. Our students volunteer here and complete tasks on a recurring basis. Sherry also tries to find different tasks that our students can do that allows them to try new things in a real work environment. I have been able to get to know Sherry on a personal level as well as a professional one and plan on continuing our volunteer services with her at HCPAC.
