The Young Americans Performing Arts Summer Camp brings an incredible combination of high-energy, team-building, confidence-boosting FUN! Our cast is specially trained to provide a safe and fun atmosphere for students to learn, explore, create, and GROW! Camps are designed to develop participants performing arts skills in singing, drama, and dance. Unlike other music performance camps, no prior training or experience in singing, dancing, or acting is necessary. By the end of the Camp, participants will learn and perform a one-act variety show, comprised of campers and The Young Americans’ performances, for their family and friends.
Each of the five days of the Camp is filled with enthusiasm, encouragement, and care culminating in a staged performance. Camp registration is limited so that The Young Americans can reach every student through individual attention to reveal their best qualities as performers and people. Our unique teaching style provides an encouraging environment for students to realize their potential and achieve the seemingly impossible goal of producing fully staged shows in just a few days. First-time campers, going into 3rd grade in the fall through the class of 2025, are always welcome! The registration cost is $275.
Due to the venue change, no lunch plans will be offered this year. ALL students must bring there own lunch each day of camp. There will, however, be a cash-only concession stand for snacks.
A bus will be available to take campers to and from camp with stops at Boyne City High School and the Petoskey Walmart for no additional cost. This bus will not run after camp or shows on Friday and Saturday.
Camp is open to students entering 3rd grade through 2025 graduates.
Students should wear comfortable, school-appropriate clothing and supportive shoes throughout the camp.
Camp dress code will be that of the host school.
Please, no sandals or flip-flops. Every camper will receive a t-shirt to wear for the performances and should wear it with dark jeans, pants, or leggings. Please no shorts for the shows.
YA Does not discriminate on gender expression or identity as part of the dress code.

The Young Americans, Harbor Springs High School, and Alanson High School are seeking host families for our Camps on July 8-12 and July 15-19. Thousands of families across the globe have hosted The Young Americans and rave about the experience. Staying with local families is one of the many rewarding aspects of participating in the camp for the YAs and it has cultivated life-long friendships over the years.
The YAs travel in pairs so we ask that you host at least two.
As a host, we ask that you provide transportation to and from the camp each day as well as all meals.
As a token of gratitude, the YAs are offering two VIP tickets to the show(s)!
