The latest among a growing number of drag queen summer camps for kids has been announced at a youth theatre in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The camp is for children aged 13 to 18.

“Do you love the idea of being a Drag King, Drag Queen, or Drag Thing but don’t know where to start?” the program description reads. “Explore the fun of drag through this week-long introduction to the art form. You will create or refine a drag persona using make up, wigs, and costumes, and then create a lip sync number to debut at the end of the week!”
