Designed to inspire, support and develop young people
YMCA Creative Academy is a programme of workshops held as school holiday day camps and after-school sessions focused on building creativity, confidence and industry skills within the creative and performing arts.
Our sessions are open to young people of all schools aged 11-18, and provide an open, non-judgmental space to engage with professional singers, actors and dancers in a collaborative, creative environment.
