US Performing Arts Camps

Founded in 2001, US performing Arts camps are designed to train students ages 11-19 before they head to a college art program. US Performing Arts Camps are affiliated with some of the nation's most prestigious universities, including Georgetown, Stanford, Yale, and Pepperdine.

So all their summer programs take place on the campus of these elite colleges. Nearly all the faculty members and coaches have previous Hollywood and Broadway experience.

Each theater summer camp lasts around one to two weeks, and students learn from the expert guidance of leading directors and performers. Apart from theater and acting camps, there are also classes for those interested in visual arts and behind the scene work like computer animation, screenwriting, and digital film.

Programs are split into four categories: acting, dance, film & media, and musical theater. Students can sign up for courses based on their chosen discipline and expect to spend most of their day in class or rehearsals. There is also some time built in for socializing and events. Despite their focus on helping middle and high school students succeed in college, the performing arts camps are open to individuals of all experience levels.
