The Actors' Studio Training Camp
Where young actors discover their VOICE, Their COURAGE, and their CALLING
The Actor’s Studio Training Camp is SVTC’s signature week of high‑energy acting training, imaginative play, and faith‑centered community for students in grades 4–12.
This isn’t a “put on a show and hope for the best” camp.
This is real acting training—taught through games, laughter, movement, and hands-on exploration—designed to help kids grow in skill, confidence, and character.
