Young Actors Camp is a good mix of fun and learning. Isn’t that what you really want a residential summer camp to be?

For a child or teen without previous acting experience, the camp can provide helpful information about the TV and film industry and provide valuable training and experience. For a more seasoned child actor, it can provide additional training and experience, and assist in putting together a good set of industry tools.

I found a number of positive reviews on this summer camp in LA from previous campers and their parents. You can check out some of those reviews here. They were also named as one of the Top 5 Summer Camps by the Travel Channel.

I spoke with the director of the camp to get additional information about their summer camp programs.

According to the camp director, “For those considering this type of immersion training, which is really what a short residential summer program is, Young Actors Camp is the most well-rounded program for a young actor transitioning and taking their first step into the film world.”

She explained that they bring top industry people to the camp to meet the campers and parents and answer the questions they have. She further noted noted that while the industry people may not remember every camper they meet, it is a chance for the parents and campers to get to know them and benefit from the information they share.

She also stated, “One of the benefits of the Young Actors Camp program is that it is a quick ‘ties’ builder. Hollywood is a small town and knowing who is doing good work is essential to making good choices in classes, self submitting headshots and resumes, and understanding trends in the casting world.”

“We are most proud of our training. EVERY class young working actors SHOULD HAVE will be on their resumes.”

As with anything, you should thoroughly check Young Actors Camp out yourself before you make a decision about whether it is the right summer camp for you and your child or teen. As with anything, you need to weigh things such as cost with the potential benefits and experiences for your child or teen before you decide!

This is a very special summer program, incorporating a variety of educational opportunities and an array of fun activities that will be memorable for every child and teen who attends. There are a variety of camp programs incorporating different activities and for varying lengths of time from one week to an entire month!

The camp director also agreed to a special deal for anyone who reads about Young Actors Camp (also known as YAC) here on my blog. Just tell them you read about Young Actors Camp on my blog, Your Young Actor, and you will get $75 off the price of any program.
