SOCAPA Teen Arts Camps

This camp is amazing! It was such an incredible experience I made so many amazing friends, and I learned so much. I would really recommend going there!

Last summer, I had one of the best experiences of my life when I attended SOCAPA for six weeks (three in the filmmaking program and three in the advanced filmmaking program). It truly was an amazing summer and an unforgettable learning experience. I was interested in film for a while, but I had no real experience before I went to SOCAPA, and the program made me realize that film is something I am truly passionate about and that I want to continue doing for the rest of my life. I was nervous but excited about going away from Colombia to New York for six whole weeks, but I never felt uncomfortable while in the program because everybody was extremely nice and helpful. The teachers and TAs were constantly helping you improve and giving you feedback on your work, and they made learning fun and enriching. I also got to meet students from all over the world that are interested in film the way I am, and this created an excellent environment. I want to thank SOCAPA for an amazing, and definitely the most productive, summer of my life!

I've been going to this camp for 2 years of my life, I have to say that is has been the best learning experience I've ever had in filmmaking. I am grateful for the the amazing time I had and the incredible people I met.

SOCAPA was fabulous - the staff was amazing and I'd never heard my daughter so happy. She called every day and said she was having the time of her life. She really learned so much and also enjoyed every aspect of the program. This was definitely one of the best run programs I've ever encountered and I have an older daughter who's experienced a few others as well and they didn't compare.
