SOCAPA summer camp reviews

I am speechless. My daughter went to NYC a few years ago for photography - we knew nothing about the program. She excelled. Life changing. Then, this past summer my 15 year old son went to the music program in LA and he transformed. I had no idea what to expect! The friends, the teachers (he was over the moon about) - the program. When I went to pick him up, I stayed in my car for an hour while he and his camp mates all cried, hugged and laughed and cried again. First thing he said when he got in the car - Mom, next year we are all going back for 3 weeks SIGN ME UP NOW! And guess what? It's Nov and I just put his application in.

My son had an amazing experience in the Songwriting program at SOCAPA NYC in 2022! It exceeded his and our (already high) expectations. The teachers/counselors were mature, creative and inspiring; the other campers were friendly, artistic and mutually supportive; the leisure activities were exciting and well-supervised. He was thrilled to create, record and perform his original song live, and found it very cool to collaborate with SOCAPA Film campers to make his video. He will be returning to SOCAPA! Highly recommend if you are passionate about your chosen Art.

My son just signed up for his second summer at SOCAPA VT for core music. He had such an amazing experience last summer honing his songwriting skills, meeting other like-minded kids and helping to make a music video. His teachers were knowledgeable, creative and inspiring. Highly recommend and looking forward to the performance showcase!

My teen had a life-changing experience at SOCAPA NYC in the Music/Songwriting program. Loved the counselors, the classes, and the kids. And came out with an amazing song and video.

My daughter attended SOCAPA for their music program last summer. She was so inspired by the experience that she has now taken up playing another instrument! She already played piano, bass guitar, ukulele and sang. Now she has started learning to play guitar as well! She came back from the camp saying, "this was the best experience of my life"! Can't beat that!

My daughter attended this camp in Vermont last summer and had a great experience. She did music and was able to spend hours in the studio recording an original song. She made lots of friends -the environment was supportive, nurturing and collegial; not competitive. It gave her room to grow and she’s going back this summer.

I attended SOCAPA 2018 in Los Angeles in August. I went in not having confidence and had no idea what I wanted to do musically. I met so many new and amazing friends at SOCAPA, and it was so life-changing. I want to thank the SOCAPA counselors and I know I'm definitely going next year!!!?

My daughter was so inspired by this music camp that she began playing another instrument -- in addition to piano, bass guitar, ukulele, and singing -- she started playing guitar! She came home from camp saying, "this was the best experience of my life!" Can't beat that!

My 14-year-old daughter attended SOCAPA and she absolutely loved it! I only heard positive things about her experience. She came home with a new sense of self, new friends and a new energy for her passions.

I was so lucky to be able to attend this camp in the summer of 2016. It was an experience that was truly indescribable. They take students that are at all different places in their craft and work with us to help us all become better in the art. I went for the songwriting three week program, and the people I met and worked with are some of the most amazing people I have ever met. Students get to meet people from all over the world, from all different backgrounds, and that love doing all different forms of the arts.

Ended up doing Acting, Photography and Music prpgrams in Vermont, NYC and Costa Rica with SOCAPA and they were undeniably the best weeks of my summers/winter breaks!

My daughter just got home from 3 weeks at the Manhattan campus. She had a fantastic experience and made great friends. We couldn't be happier with the quality of the experience.
