Sunday 1st April to Saturday 7th April, 2012
The Old Vicarage, Viney Hill, near Gloucester.

The Old Vicarage is a small piece of local history, built around the 1860s to house the vicar and his family who looked after the local parish church. It is a three storey Victorian building, situated in the stunning surroundings of the Forest of Dean.

Sunday August 5th to Saturday August 11th, 2012
Alton Castle, Staffordshire

Alton Castle is possibly our most exciting venue to date. It was founded and built on a rocky precipice overlooking the River Churnet in the 12th century. It was reconstructed during the 15th century and then took some damage during the Civil War. In 1847 it was econstructed as a Gothic country house.

Sunday August 19th to Saturday August 25th, 2012
Bootham School, York

Bootham Hall is a well equipped independent school, enjoying a beautiful nine acre campus, laid out in lawns, flower beds and trees. It is hard to believe that we are only 300 metres from York Minster. The elegant and impressive Georgian buildings and historic city promise to be an inspiring location for filming. Don't forget, not only is York a beautiful and historic place - it is also renowned as the most haunted city in England!

Hi Tikka,

The age ranges are 11-18, and the young people work together in similar age groups to make their films

Have a look at some of these extracts from recent films from ACT 2 CAM which premiered this month. (Our Summer Film Camp 2011 is due to premiere next month, December 18th at Tyneside Cinema, Newcastle). All films were created, performed and filmed by young people age 8-18.

Thanks.

What is the student teacher ratio? How many places are there per week?

What % of the sessions were kids who are 16+ ?

Ds is interested, but for that sort of money I need to know there will be a sufficient number of people his age (he's 17). He is OK working on a daily basis with any age group but on a residential there's a huge difference between spending a week with people your own age to spending it with lots of 11-13 year olds!

Hi Tikka,

Teacher to student ratio at our last residential was 1-8, with about 25% aged 16+

The older groups are more autonomous. Several students took the course as part of their DofE Gold, and some as part of their Arts Award Gold (to which we are well suited and qualified to deliver)

I can put you in touch with some parents from previous residentials if you like, and pass on a young person's email contact for your son.

I will pm you

Steve
