Welcome to The Young Actors’ Theatre Camp — Celebrating 25 Years of Magic, Mentorship & Main-Character Energy!

The Young Actors’ Theatre Camp is turning 25 this summer in the stunning Santa Cruz Mountains — and you’re invited to be a part of our most spectacular season yet!

​

For a quarter of a century, CampYATC has been the place where young artists ages 8–18 discover their voice, build lifelong confidence, and experience the joy of creating unforgettable theatre, film, and dance. Whether you’re a first-time camper or a seasoned performer, YATC is where you find your people, your passion, and your power.

Why YATC? Because this is where rising stars are made.​

We’ve proudly trained thousands of campers who have gone on to Broadway stages, television sets, national tours, recording studios, top-tier universities, and — most importantly — into adulthood with courage, creativity, and lifelong friendships.

​

At our award-winning overnight program, campers dive into world-class training in acting, musical theatre, dance, drag, filmmaking, audition technique, improvisation, songwriting, LARP, and so much more — all while experiencing the pure joy of summer camp: s’mores, new friends, theme nights, and memories that last a lifetime.

​

And our faculty? Simply legendary.

Learn from the very best in Broadway, film, and the entertainment industry, including:
Kate Rockwell (Mean Girls) • Laura Bell Bundy (Tony Nominee, Legally Blonde) • Julia Lester (HSMTMTS) • Alex Brightman (2x Tony Nominee, Beetlejuice) • Jim O’Heir (Parks & Rec) • James Alsop (Choreographer for Beyoncé & J.Lo) • Cheryl Porter (Vocal Coach) • Elizabeth Teeter (Beetlejuice) • Samantha Pauly (Broadway’s SIX) • Krystina Alabado (Mean Girls) • Christy Altomare (Anastasia) • Drew Gehling (Waitress) — and dozens more who can’t wait to work with YOU.
