Rubicon expanded the company's educational offerings during this season. A record number of participants engaged in Rubicon's summer education camps and intensives. The four programs for students ages 6 - 22 included the Stinky Feet Theatre Project, Middle School Musical Theatre, Fearless Shakespeare and Young Adult Musical Theatre. These programs returned to Rubicon after having been produced outside for the past two seasons on the campus of Villanova Prep School in Ojai. Student matinees at the theatre continued with Dark of the Moon and In the Heights; however, for the latter, Rubicon cast members also presented on-site school assemblies in Ventura and Oxnard Unified School Districts. The cast also broke into small groups and went into classrooms with specially developed curricula around the themes and issues in the play. Rubicon reached 5,200 students with this program alone.
