Performing arts have long been part of camp life across Europe, and theatre camps here draw on a continent with a deep tradition of drama schools, national theatres and youth performance programs. Camps range from dedicated acting and film courses to broader programs that fold theatre in alongside dance, music and circus arts, set in countries with very different creative traditions to explore.

For young performers, training abroad adds a new audience, a new language of stagecraft, and often the chance to work alongside directors and coaches trained in a different theatrical tradition than at home. The ranking below reflects camps with verified parent reviews, updated as new bookings and reviews come in.
