Champlain College and Burlington, Vermont:
 SOCAPA's Vermont Program is hosted at Champlain College, situated in picturesque small city of Burlington, Vermont. Champlain's campus is perched in the historic Hill Section, overlooking the breathtaking Lake Champlain and the surrounding Adirondack Mountains. A short walk down the hill and students are immersed in the vibrant arts scene of downtown Burlington. You'll find the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts and the lively, pedestrian Church Street Marketplace, lined with boutiques, shops, art galleries, sidewalk cafes, coffeehouses, a smorgasbord of ethnic eateries, street performers, an indoor mall for rainy days, and movie theaters showing first-run, art and foreign films. A little further down the hill and you are on the shores of spectacular Lake Champlain. The waterfront's Battery Park hosts weekly outdoor rock concerts and North Beach is perfect for swimming, kayaking and sunbathing. Burlington is and ideal summer haven featuring an eclectic mix of cultural, artistic and recreational activities.
 Housing and Meals:
Students in the overnight program stay in the Champlain College residence houses, restored Victorian-era mansions with fireplaces, large wrap around porches and hi-speed wireless internet. Resident students eat most of their meals in the campus dining hall but weekly outdoor barbecues and dinners-on-the-town are planned as well. SOCAPA students also have access to the Student Life Center which houses a full-sized gymnasium, fitness center, dining room, student lounge with fireplace and big-screen TV, game room — and an outdoor terrace with full views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks.
Facilities:
 The classroom and tech facilities at Champlain College are among the best we've seen in the nation. The MacPro Editing labs used by the Photography and Filmmaking Programs feature thirty individual stations loaded with Final Cut Pro, Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign), Flash, Dreamweaver, ImageReady, Fireworks, Maya and many others. Just down the hall are state-of-the-art photography facilities and a large gang darkroom with ten enlargers. Movie nights and the final showcase take place in the Alumni Auditorium Theater which seats two-hundred.
