SOCAPA Vermont is hosted in downtown Burlington, Vt - overlooking Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains. Campus is just a 5 minute walk from the main art, cultural, and commercial center of the city - Church Street, a pedestrian market place.

The dining experience at each campus offer variety and accommodates students with dietary restrictions. Please visit our site for more details about each campus.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Filmmaking: Students write, direct, and edit one film per week of attendance in our core filmmaking program. Our 3 week Advanced Program provides students more time to produce two longer projects and our Advanced Projects intensive dedicates the entire time to one project. Screenwriting, pre-production, producing, directing, camera techniques, and editing (Adobe Premiere) skills are all taught. Our Cinematography program delves into lighting, shot composition and offers hands-on experience with professional equipment. The Film Production Lab gives students the chance to be part of making a film from scratch without the pressure of doing it all - either 2 or 3 weeks are dedicated to writing, producing, and editing one film as a group.

Acting for Film: Students are introduced to the Method and Meisner techniques and able to immediately put their new skills to work in student films. Actors work with photographers in the studio to get their head shots; work on monologue and audition techniques; scene study; and an acting reel (3 week program only).

Dance: HipHop and Contemporary: Technique, conditioning, choreography, costuming, and performance! Students learn and perform one piece of choreography in the two week program. They film a dance video as well as perform live at the end of the session. Three week students do two pieces - both dance videos and live performances. Advanced dancers can join for our 3 week Dance Conservatory program and focus the last week on choreographing a solo which will be shot and edited - great for auditions or applications!

Photography: Digital and traditional 35mm programs offered: History of photography, Aesthetics, camera techniques, Photoshop, Lightroom, studio and natural lighting, night photo, portraits, street photography, commercial photography, portfolio development, photo safaris and more!

Music: Singer/Songwriter program: With coaching in melody, harmony, arranging, lyric writing, and stage presence, students refine an original song per week of attendance, which they record at a professional recording studio. Students work with the film students for a music video (3 week program).

Screenwriting: Hone your skills in an intensive screenwriting course over one, two, or three weeks. Work closely with other writers and benefit from regular feedback and critique from your peers and instructor as you work on the first act of a feature or the script for a short film. Students spend time analyzing what works in existing films and will come away from the program with a stronger voice and new tools to use in future projects.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: There is limited financial assistance available. Please contact the main office for more information.

OTHER CAMP INFO: SOCAPA appreciates each of our unique locations and works hard to take advantage of their offerings.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Alpha Summer in the East Bay is one week inside the real Alpha School. The fastest way to know if Alpha is the school for your family. Grades K-8, running seven consecutive weeks from June 8 through July 24, 2026.

Mornings are personalized, AI-powered academics at exactly your child's level. Two hours of math and reading, mastery-based and adaptive, done by lunch. Alpha uses adaptive AI apps (not chatbots) to meet each student where they are, adjusting in real time. Alpha classes rank nationally in the top 2%, all with just two hours of academics a day.

Afternoons belong to life skills workshops. Depending on age, your child could be publishing a hardcover book with AI, building and training their own AI chatbot, launching a real mobile app, or leading a startup pitch on stage. Each week features two workshops across three dimensions: personal grit, teamwork, and entrepreneurship.

Friday is the showcase. You go home with three deliverables: an NWEA MAP report showing where your child stands nationally in math and reading, a student profile written by their guide based on the week's observations, and a personalized academic plan projecting where your child could go next.

The guide's job is to hold each child to high standards, support them through challenges, and make sure they love coming to school every single day. By Friday, your child's guide will truly know them: their goals, their motivations, how they handle adversity, and what makes them come alive.

Every family is paired with a Dean of Parents, a dedicated point of contact whose only job is to make sure your family has everything you need.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: WHAT’S THE GIRLS LEADERSHIP SPECIAL SAUCE?

Professional & Crazy Fun Staff — Our Educators teach for us all year round. They live and breathe our renowned curriculum, and they’ve been practicing our trademark camp games for years, so they are more than ready to rumble.

Summer Program Director Cora Garner is an American Camp Association Member. She came to us after working at Cornell University, Stanford University, and most recently the University of California, Berkeley. Through her work in Higher Education, she has developed and taught courses that focus on identity and community development.

At Girls Leadership we want you to be true-to-you. Every day starts with community games. Our theatre-based workshops focus on developing personal and societal leadership, such as how to ask for what you need. In these sessions girls practice new tools for speaking up for themselves and for others.

We also create beautiful art projects, stay active outside, and always have a spirit theme for the day. These activities are designed to encourage girls to embrace who they are, reflect on what they believe, and give them an opportunity to express themselves creatively.

CAMPER GENDER(S): Coed Campers.

BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Alpha Summer in Santa Barbara is one week inside the real Alpha School. Mornings: personalized, AI-powered academics. Afternoons: hands-on life skills workshops. Friday: showcase plus a take-home academic plan. Grades K-8. $2,500 per week, or $9,000 for four weeks. Running five weeks, June 22 through July 24, 2026.

CAMP INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES OFFERED:
Computers, Math, Science, Technology, Academics, and more.

CAMP LOCATION: Onsite at the Alpha School Santa Barbara campus (27 E Cota St, Santa Barbara, California 93101).

Other locations include: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, Texas, Virginia

CAMP FACILITIES: Hosted at the real Alpha School Santa Barbara campus: the same classrooms, labs, and common spaces Alpha School students use during the regular academic year. Purpose-built for personalized AI-powered learning and hands-on workshops.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Alpha Summer in Santa Barbara is one week inside the real Alpha School. The fastest way to know if Alpha is the school for your family. Grades K-8, running five consecutive weeks from June 22 through July 24, 2026.

Mornings are personalized, AI-powered academics at exactly your child's level. Two hours of math and reading, mastery-based and adaptive, done by lunch. Alpha uses adaptive AI apps (not chatbots) to meet each student where they are, adjusting in real time. Alpha classes rank nationally in the top 2%, all with just two hours of academics a day.

Afternoons belong to life skills workshops. Depending on age, your child could be publishing a hardcover book with AI, building and training their own AI chatbot, launching a real mobile app, or leading a startup pitch on stage. Each week features two workshops across three dimensions: personal grit, teamwork, and entrepreneurship.

Friday is the showcase. You go home with three deliverables: an NWEA MAP report showing where your child stands nationally in math and reading, a student profile written by their guide based on the week's observations, and a personalized academic plan projecting where your child could go next.

The guide's job is to hold each child to high standards, support them through challenges, and make sure they love coming to school every single day. By Friday, your child's guide will truly know them: their goals, their motivations, how they handle adversity, and what makes them come alive.

Every family is paired with a Dean of Parents, a dedicated point of contact whose only job is to make sure your family has everything you need.

$2,500 per week, or $9,000 for four weeks. Sibling discount available.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: CAMP WAMP ACTIVITIES
Campers enjoy a variety of outdoor activities including; fishing, canoeing, singing around the camp fire, hiking, making new friends, participating in survival challenges, and much more.

All Camp Wamp sessions offer STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) experiences. STEAM will be introduced in an outdoor classroom setting where professionals introduce STEAM throughout the week at camp. STEAM is geared towards problem solving specific to the disabilities of each child.

Camp Wamp’s survival challenges encourage teamwork, self education, and fosters goal setting. We believe being a part of a team is one way to enjoy adventures that the wilderness of the High Sierra’s has to offer. Nature is our living classroom, and the more children are exposed to elements, the more they tend to appreciate the natural environment.

CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: Always looking for CIT's to turn into counselors.

OTHER CAMP INFO: The Stephen J Wampler Foundation incorporated in October 2001, becoming a fully recognized tax-exempt non-profit 501(c) 3 organization in March of 2002 (Tax ID number #80-0470847). Our outdoor programs started in August of 2004 when we welcomed our first 24 campers. The organization has grown over the past 17 years, and we have sponsored 1250 children.

Camp Wamp, located near North Lake Tahoe in the High Sierras, is a place where kids with physical challenges have the week of their life in the great outdoors. The kids of Camp Wamp leave the experience having learned to face life with a new sense of self-reliance, ambition, optimism and adventure. Most of these kids are also quick to say that Camp Wamp was the, “Best Week Ever”!.
