August 3rd – August 7th: Signature Performing Arts Summer Camp
Our Signature Performing Arts Summer Camp offers young performers the opportunity to explore singing, dancing, and acting in a supportive and creative environment. Campers will build performance skills, develop confidence, and collaborate through engaging workshops, rehearsals, and ensemble activities. Both weeks include a final showcase where students can share what they have learned with family and friends.
The Young Americans Performing Arts Summer Camp brings an incredible combination of high-energy, team-building, confidence-boosting FUN! Our cast is specially trained to provide a safe and fun atmosphere for students to learn, explore, create, and GROW! Camps are designed to develop participants performing arts skills in singing, drama, and dance. Unlike other music performance workshops, no prior training or experience in singing, dancing, and acting is necessary. By the end of camp, participants will learn and perform a one-act variety show, comprised of campers and The Young Americans’ performances, for their family and friends.
Each of the four full days of camp is filled with enthusiasm, encouragement, and care culminating in two staged-performance – one Friday evening and a Saturday matinee. Camp registration is limited so that The Young Americans are able to reach every student through individual attention to reveal their best qualities as performers and people. Our unique teaching style provides an encouraging environment for students to realize their potential and achieve the seemingly impossible goal of producing fully-staged shows in under a week. First-time campers, going into 3rdgrade in the fall through the graduating class of the current school year, are always welcome! Campers can attend just one or multiple weeks.
Camp is open to students entering 3rd grade through 2026 graduates.
Registration will start at 9am, and camp activities will be from 9:30am-5PM.
The camp dress code will be that of the host school.
Please do not wear sandals or flip-flops. Every camper will receive a T-shirt to wear for performances and should wear it with dark jeans, pants, or leggings. Shorts are not permitted for shows.
YA does not discriminate based on gender expression or identity as part of the dress code.

The Young Americans are seeking host families for visiting cast members during camp sessions. Families from around the world have hosted The Young Americans and consistently describe it as a meaningful and memorable experience. Hosting provides cast members with the opportunity to experience life in a local community, while giving families the chance to share their home and build lasting friendships.
Cast members travel in pairs, and host families are asked to accommodate at least two Young Americans. As a host, you will be responsible for providing daily transportation to and from camp, as well as meals during their stay. If your child rides the bus, the Young Americans can ride the bus as well.
Opening your home is a rewarding way to connect, support the arts, and create a unique cultural exchange experience for everyone involved.
