Residential Filmmaking and Screen Acting Summer Camp (Young Film Academy)

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.

Dates: 1-Week Camp: August 1st - 8th 2027 or August 8th - 15th 2027, 2-Week Camp: August 1st - 15th 2027

Cost: price to be confirmed for 2027/ 1 Week, price to be confirmed for 2027/ 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…

YFA’s Residential Filmmaking and Screen Acting Summer Camp is held at Culford School, Suffolk, IP28 6TX, one of the UK’s leading boarding schools, just 2 hours from central London.

It’s the perfect movie location to shoot an action, drama, horror, science-fiction, period drama and more! The only limit is your imagination.

Traditional shared boarding accommodation is separated according to age and gender. Separate common rooms and areas for relaxing are provided.
