Welcome to Rise Up! 
Youth Program for the Performing Arts!

Dear Rise Up Community,

We’ve received several messages asking about our summer camp plans, and we wanted to take a moment to share some important news with you.

​

After six incredible years of serving the Yuba-Sutter community through performing arts programs, Rise Up will be closing its doors and will no longer be offering summer programming.

This decision was not made lightly. Rise Up has been a labor of love from the very beginning — a way to make the arts more accessible, to give students a space to explore their creativity, and to bring families together around something joyful. Our recent musical theatre camps, especially, have been incredibly rewarding for our team. Seeing young performers grow in confidence, make new friends, and shine onstage has been one of the most rewarding experiences of our lives. 

Over the past year, life has brought about some big changes for our team. Each of us has found ourselves beginning new adventures — both personally and professionally — that have made it harder to give Rise Up the time and energy it deserves. As much as we’ve tried to find a path forward, we’ve come to realize that it’s time to take a step back and close this chapter, with full hearts and deep gratitude for everyone who has supported us along the way.

​

We’re deeply grateful to every family, student, staff member, volunteer, and community supporter who has been part of Rise Up’s journey. Thank you for believing in our mission and for pouring your time, energy, and heart into creating meaningful experiences through the performing arts. From late night rehearsals to fun camp field days— and everything in between— the memories we’ve shared will stay with us always.

​

Though this chapter is ending, the spirit of Rise Up lives on in the creativity, passion and drive we’ve seen in our students. To our students— past and present— we are incredibly proud of you and are honored that we got to play a role in your performing arts journey. We hope that you continue to share your talents, support one another, and keep the love of theatre alive in this community.

​

If you’d like to share a favorite memory or message, we’d truly love to hear from you. On behalf of the entire Rise Up team, thank you for being part of this incredible journey. The past six years have meant the world to us — it’s been the experience of a lifetime.

​

With love and gratitude,
