Life is about the journey, as we all know, and on the path to finding the destination, parents and campers should work hand in hand to gently take daily steps towards that ultimately wonderful feeling of “knowing who you are!”

Shawn Ryan is the Co-Founding Director of The Young Actors’ Theatre Camp. He’s been inspiring campers for the last 21 years and finds it to be his greatest joy on Earth. (And he hung out with Sia for a weekend, so you know the camp thing has gotta be pretty cool.) The Young Actors’ Theatre Camp is a multi award winning overnight theatre camp in the Santa Cruz Mountains for students ages 8-18 of all levels and interested in the performing arts, on stage and off, in front of the camera and behind it. www.CampYATC.com or Call (925) 858-3548 for more information.
