All students work on a basic 1 scene showreel during the camp, which they shoot with our camera, sound and lighting equipment. This is edited by the students with supervision of our teachers, as this is a necessary skill for self-tape auditions they may do after their course for professional roles.
However if you would like a showreel edited & retouched by a trained producer, we offer an upgraded Pro-Showreel for £150. This is optional but provides a higher quality of sound and editing.
Accommodation
Our boarding houses are set at the International School or Sherborne School, a 3 minute walk from campus.
Students will be placed in gender separated floors and rooms, with qualified members of Sherborne International School staff overseeing their safeguarding during the night.

All prices include 3 meals per day served in the campus canteen.
During the evenings, students can relax on beanbags as we watch & study classic films.
Sherborne is an ancient abbey town, a hidden gem in the English countryside. If you want to experience high-class rural British life, there is no better villiage than this ancient town. Our courses take place across Sherborne School's campus, including the school's Abbey.

That was indeed great, as always. I am happy to send my daughter to the camp. The teachers are amazing, the show was amazing too. Thank you.
Our son Johann has been attending these camps every holiday since 3 years now. He just loves to go there every day and can’t wait for the next holiday. He has learned a lot in different areas and has gained so much confidence on the stage. Thank you Ben & team, you are amazing 🙂
The fact that they invite industry professional agents to watch the end of week shows is testament to how much they care about seeing their students do well – James McMannister, St. Andrews
I can’t believe how much we did in one week. I’ve been on other courses for my acting training but this is the first time I’ve walked away feeling like I have the tools to start working professionally.
“My daughter Lilley has taken part in the camps a few times already. We followed a casting sent to us by Ben, and we have been invited to the final round & our daughter may have the chance to play in a film – we are very excited about this. Thank you Ben for sending the link”
