Build Audition, Television, and Film Acting Skills
NYFA’s Acting for Kids camps and workshops offer the perfect introduction to film and television acting. Taught by professional actors who continue to work on films, television shows, stage shows, and much more, students in the acting for film programs receive a real-world, practical education and training. Through hands-on projects and exercises taught in the acting camp and workshops, students bolster their acting skills and gain experience in public speaking, presentation, and creative collaboration.
Currently, NYFA offers in-person, on-campus summer camps and weekend workshops held during the academic year, as well as online programs. These programs are designed for students aged 10-13 with varying levels of experience acting.
Acting for Film Summer
Camps: Level I
NYFA’s engaging, fun summer camps introduce kids to the fundamentals of acting and provide actual on-camera experience.
1 and 2-Week programs available
These summer camps teach students specific audition and screen acting techniques, and during the programs, students perform their own monologues and scenes. No prior experience is required — only enthusiasm!
Acting for Film Summer
Camps: Level II
Students that graduate from our level one 1-Week, 2-Week or 12-Weekend Acting for Film programs may return for a level-two program.

The level-two camps build upon the skills learned in our level-one camps, helping aspiring performers refine their audition and on-camera abilities. We currently offer our level-two camps as full-time, on-campus programs held during the summer, with an additional weekend camp available during the academic year.
