Why Attend Summer Acting Camp?
Along with getting a great and intensive period of time over the summer to study your acting (and all things theater), summer acting programs are a fantastic place to meet other actors and professional performers.
You've probably heard that in the business of acting, it's all about "who you know." It may seem as though this phrase comes from actors who have schmoozed their way into a director's or agent's good graces, but that's rarely if ever the case. You get to know who you know often because you worked and/or studied with them in the past.
One of the best ways to get to know others in the business -- or those who will be in it one day -- is to meet them through acting classes, workshops, seminars, and summer programs. So get out there and network!

Summer Acting Camp
Summer acting programs are a great way to get started as an actor or to brush up your skills if you're already a working actor. Many summer camps allow you to design a program that's right for you, so that you will get the most training out of the weeks you're there.
Not only will you get to meet other student actors and often there's a main production or more than one to take part in at the end of the summer session. There's a lot to keep you busy, from technical acting courses to even extended programs like yoga and music.
Besides the expected acting classes, a few typical classes you'll encounter at a summer acting school are as follows:
Directing
Stagecraft
Lighting
Playwriting
Stage Combat
Makeup
Dance
Stage Movement
Voice

Acting Camps
Are you the parent of a teen who is thinking about acting as a career? Does your child need to overcome shyness and find the courage to express him or herself? Consider a summer acting camp. Teenagers hungry for creative outlets will love spending their summer exploring and developing their dramatic talents.
There are four key factors to consider when choosing a teen acting camp:
1)The activities: Look for a teaching curriculum that engages students creatively. Will there be scene study? Improvisation? An opportunity to perform at the end of the session? Do students receive tapings of their work?
2)The faculty and class size: Are members of the faculty working actors or well-respected drama teachers? Are the classes large enough to allow for a dynamic creative exchange but small enough to ensure students participate rather than sit on the sidelines?
3)Proximity to the industry: A summer camp in New York City or Los Angeles puts students in the center of the industry. Will there be excursions to the theater, screenings, and film and television studios? Does the camp invite industry guests to talk to the students?
4)Student Supervision and Safety: Does the camp show a high level of concern for student safety, especially in big city locations? Are the students supervised in the dormitories, on outings, and elsewhere? Is attendance in class mandatory, and does the camp insist students follow their rules and guidelines?
Whether it's just for fun or whether it's in pursuit of a career in film and television, teens who spend a summer at a camp for acting come home more confident, outgoing, and bubbling with creativity.
