For children and young people who love performing, immersive short courses can be a powerful way to build confidence, creativity, and skills.

Conti Camp 2026 is Italia Conti’s four-day performing arts experience in London, designed to give young performers a taste of professional training in a fun, supportive environment. It’s an ideal introduction for families exploring theatre courses for children that balance enjoyment with high-quality tuition.

What Is Conti Camp?

Conti Camp is a dynamic holiday programme that brings together acting, singing, and dance across four intensive days. Led by experienced Italia Conti tutors, the camp introduces participants to the core elements of performing arts training while encouraging self-expression, teamwork, and confidence.

What Children Will Experience

Across the four days, students take part in a varied timetable that reflects how professional performing arts training works, in a way that’s accessible, age-appropriate, and engaging.

Sessions typically include:

  • Acting workshops focused on imagination, character, and storytelling
  • Singing sessions that build confidence, musicality, and vocal awareness
  • Dance classes that develop coordination, rhythm, and expressive movement
  • Ensemble work that encourages collaboration and creativity
  • Rehearsal-style activities that introduce structure and discipline in a positive way

Rather than focusing on perfection, Conti Camp prioritises exploration, play, and personal growth, making it suitable for both experienced young performers and those trying theatre training for the first time.

Who Is Conti Camp For?

Conti Camp is designed for children and young people who enjoy performing, whether they already attend classes or are just beginning to explore their interests. It’s particularly well suited to:

  • Children curious about acting, singing, or dance
  • Families researching theatre courses for children in a short-term, low-pressure format
  • Students who want to build confidence and try something new
  • Young performers considering future part-time or full-time training

No previous professional training is required.

Why Choose Italia Conti?

Italia Conti has over a century of experience training performers and nurturing young talent. Sessions are led by expert tutors who understand how children learn, develop, and gain confidence at different stages.

Every participant is supported and encouraged in an inclusive environment where high standards are balanced with age-appropriate teaching and care. Conti Camp also provides a clear introduction to future training pathways for those who wish to continue, while remaining a low-pressure way for families to explore structured performing arts training without committing to a long-term course.

More Than Just a Holiday Activity

While Conti Camp is fun, energetic, and social, it also helps children develop transferable skills that extend beyond the studio. Participants build confidence, communication skills, focus, and resilience, qualities that support both creative and personal development.

For children who fall in love with performing arts, Conti Camp can be the starting point of a longer journey. For others, it’s a memorable creative experience that encourages self-expression and teamwork.

  • “I have just graduated from Liverpool Theatre School with a Level 6 Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre. I wanted to do the BA Hons (Top Up) in Professional Arts Practice course to further develop my skills for the industry. It is the perfect balance between academic writing and creativity. I already have seen improvements, both in my academic and performing work, and I now really value the ability to critically reflect on past experiences in order to improve my current skills.”

    - Sarah Collinge – Musical Theatre Performer Current Student, Class of July 2024
  • “I have found that my first term at Italia Conti has been better than I could’ve imagined. I am working with driven, passionate, likeminded people within all different realms of the performing arts industry. I find that the course is very tailored to each individual and the content is broad enough to apply to everyone but specific enough to challenge each person within their abilities. I find the course to be a place where I can collaborate and interact with people who I’d never had met otherwise. I only look forward to what the next few months of the course bring and feel more motivated than ever.”

  • I’m a dancer in LA and can’t keep up with my peers on how often they take dance classes. This channel has been so helpful for me to keep up my training. Thank you for sharing this with the world. I feel like we are all dancing together even though we are all doing this at different times and in different spaces. 🖤
