I am speechless. My daughter went to NYC a few years ago for photography - we knew nothing about the program. She excelled. Life changing. Then, this past summer my 15 year old son went to the music program in LA and he transformed. I had no idea what to expect! The friends, the teachers (he was over the moon about) - the program. When I went to pick him up, I stayed in my car for an hour while he and his camp mates all cried, hugged and laughed and cried again. First thing he said when he got in the car - Mom, next year we are all going back for 3 weeks SIGN ME UP NOW! And guess what? It's Nov and I just put his application in.

My 15 year old daughter Martina joined Socapa’s Acting for film summer camp in Los Angeles last July and she absolutely loved it. She learned, laughed, made new friends. She loved the program and her coaches, the team was fantastic! It was a long way from home since we live in South America but it was a very good decision. Already planning to join another camp in 2026!

My experience at SOCAPA was the best experience any film or acting student could ask for! Apart from excelling at teaching, SOCAPA had amazing outer activities that made my holiday hard-to-forget. The environment was friendly, and the staff was nice and caring. English isn't my first language; therefore, I find it really hard to adapt. However, SOCAPA made me feel comfortable, as if I were at home. It's hard to think of any flaws the camp had and, if I were to think of it, I think I can remember everything: from the filming-fun to the tiny inside-jokes I made with my peers.

I'd been looking for a long time for a spot for my kid to study acting when I FINALLY found SOCAPA's 2-week residential program in LA. She attended the summer before her sophomore year, and it's one of her favorite things she's ever done. She liked the people who run SOCAPA, the kids who attended, the classes she took, the performance opportunities, and the fun stuff the kids did when not in acting class or performing in short films for student filmmakers/student directors. During down time, the music students played piano while the other kids sang along, they took walks on campus, they took trips off campus for coffee and meals. On her birthday, my daughter toured Universal Studios in LA because her bday fell during her week at SOCAPA. (Staff also sang to her and made her a cool sign at her dorm.) She's def returning for the 3-week advanced acting session. There's a comfort level in the acting classes that gives each student room to be themselves and to feel safe doing so. SOCAPA is an artistic kid's paradise. We highly recommend. There was no "type" at SOCAPA - just a bunch of artists doing art together.

I did the 3 week core film program for 3 weeks and it was the best 3 weeks of my life. I learned so much about writing, directing and editing and I also built life long relationships with some of my peers. The staff are all so nice, fun, and helpful. Overall, going to Socapa was the best decision I have ever made.
