Los Angeles, CA, USA
SOCAPA Los Angeles is housed at Occidental College, offering students access to an inspiring campus atmosphere across from Griffith Park and moments from Hollywood and Universal Studios. Across multi-week sessions, campers dive into their chosen arts discipline—be it filmmaking, music production, dance, acting, photography, or songwriting—working with experienced mentors, creating original work, and collaborating with peers.
Residential students stay in dormitories equipped with air-conditioning, high-speed internet, communal kitchens, and supervised common areas; day students commute but can fully engage in classes and evening activities. The meal plan covers weekday dining in the student marketplace, which features a variety of fresh, made-to-order food options including pizza, pasta, deli items and salad bars; evening and weekend meals for off-campus trips may be handled independently. Health-and-safety protocols are robust, with on-site staff, residential assistants, secure access to buildings, and established transport for weekend excursions.
On weekends, students explore Los Angeles: trips to the Walk of Fame, beach outings, theme parks, studio visits, karaoke nights, and more create a fun balance to the intensive academic work. The program culminates in a showcase or performance where students present their creations to peers, instructors, and sometimes special guests — an energetic highlight of the experience. Participants leave with portfolios, recordings, films or performances, strengthened friendships, and a deeper sense of their artistic voice and direction.
