SOCAPA Film, Acting, & Dance Camps - Manhattan

SOCAPA, Manhattan, NY, USA · $2,995/week

Intensive 2-week filmmaking program for teens at New York University, covering all aspects of film production.

▌ Editor's read The SOCAPA website loads successfully and details a 2-week Core Filmmaking program in Manhattan for teens. The 'About Us' section indicates the organization was founded in 2001, suggesting 22 years of operation. The 'Safety & Supervision' page mentions that all staff undergo background checks, including criminal and sex offender checks. The program is described as an overnight camp, with students residing in dorms. While the website highlights experienced instructors and professional equipment, it does not provide information on ACA accreditation or specific state licensing for its New York location. Social media handles for Instagram (@socapa) and Facebook (socapa) are present. The organization appears to be a for-profit entity focused on arts education.

Who thrives here Ages 13–18

SOCAPA Film, Acting, & Dance Camps - Manhattan serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in arts, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
