Lato w teatrze is a nationwide program that supports local government cultural institutions and non-governmental organisations in running two-week theatre camps or day camps for children and young people during the summer holidays. It also runs touring family performances in a circus tent in small Polish towns, with educational activities alongside each show, and a development offering for theatre educators and workshop leaders.

The program is organised by the Theatre Pedagogy Department of the Zbigniew Raszewski Theatre Institute (Instytut Teatralny) in Warsaw and is financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. Grants are awarded through a competition, with a maximum of 45,000 PLN for Modules I and II and 50,000 PLN for Module III. Beneficiaries take part in a kick-off meeting, evaluation, development workshops and training, and receive support from an assigned mentor.

The program is coordinated by a three-person team within the department. Its announced activities include an evaluation meeting on 6 October 2026 in Warsaw.
