Overview

SOCAPA is one of the premier visual and performing arts programs for high school teens, ages 13 to 18, in the world. With day and residential camps at our Vermont location hosted at Champlain College, SOCAPA has a "life-changing" pre-college experience for you. Nowhere else will you find this level of creative intensity combined with this much fun!

Situated in the picturesque city of Burlington, the Champlain College campus is perched in the historic Hill Section, overlooking the breathtaking Lake Champlain and the surrounding Adirondack Mountains. A short walk down the hill and students are immersed in the vibrant arts scene of downtown Burlington. You'll find the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts and the lively, pedestrian Church Street Marketplace, lined with boutiques, shops, art galleries, sidewalk cafes, coffeehouses, a smorgasbord of ethnic eateries, street performers, and more.
