YFA’s Summer Camp is open to all experience levels – from complete beginners to aspiring filmmakers and actors ready to sharpen their skills. Whether you’re stepping onto a set for the first time or building on existing experience, our hands-on programme equips students with high-quality, industry-relevant training for the modern creative world. Students won’t just learn – they’ll create, collaborate and leave with real professional achievements and personal growth that lasts far beyond the summer.
The camp is held at Culford School (Suffolk), one of the UK’s leading boarding schools, and includes all board, meals, tuition, equipment and activities.

Cost: £1880 / 1 Week, £3620 / 2 Weeks
Students on YFA Summer Camp will divide into 2 crews: FILMMAKING CREW & ACTING CREW . Students choose which Crew they wish to join for the duration of their camp. Each Crew will develop specialised skills in their own disciplines through practical exercises, workshops and masterclasses with film industry professionals. And because we passionately believe that the best way to learn to is get out there and DO it, the Filmmaking and Acting Crews will then combine in teams to work together for the production of the movies. Each week of YFA Summer Camp culminates in a Premiere Screening of all the completed movies for friends and family in the onsite cinema. There’ll be a packed house, behind-the-scenes special features telling the real story of how that movie got made, and we’re guessing some blooper-reels too…
And when students aren’t on set, there’ll be oodles of great fun indoor and outdoor activities on offer for them to enjoy, including swimming, table tennis, dodgeball, dance, yoga, film screenings, movie quizzes, talent shows, competitions, games and more!
