Idyllwild Arts Summer Youth Arts Program
Scholarships directly through Idyllwild: Given out beginning in March on a first come, first served basis.
Since 1950, the Idyllwild Arts Summer Program has created a unique learning environment for children, youth, and adults through an intensive, individual exploration of the arts. Located in California's San Jacinto Mountains, the Program's 205-acre campus provides an outstanding setting for specific art-centered programs, as well as special workshops, festivals and performances. All in all, it provides an unforgettable experience for dreamers of any age.
At the core of every artist is a personal vision. Idyllwild's Youth Arts Center gives students 13-18 the professional direction and focus to realize their inner artist through dance, music, theatre, visual arts, and creative writing. This immersive program, while demanding, provides a competition-free environment. An exceptional faculty works closely with each student, stressing individual growth while encouraging achievement.
Located at an elevation of 5,000 feet on the western slopes of California’s San Jacinto Mountains, Idyllwild’s campus is naturally beautiful, complete with alpine forests, mountains, and meadows. Remote from urban distractions, it is still just 2.5 hours by car from Los Angles or San Diego. Visitors can take advantage of Idyllwild’s broad choice of recreational activities on-campus, or by visiting the nearby town of Idyllwild, with its restaurants, specialty shops, and art galleries.
