BYMT Belfast Summer Camp 2026

Activity Description

BYMT Camps are six-day residential stays in the UK providing playful, creative training in music theatre for keen performers aged 11-17. They are designed for young people looking to explore their potential and develop confidence in acting, singing, movement, writing and instrumental playing. Inspiring theatre professionals suggest a brand-new show and participants then develop the story with their ideas and in just a week a new musical is made, culminating in a sharing of scenes and songs on the final day. Participants receive a Grade 6 Certificate in Musical Theatre, accredited by MX, the prestigious Mountview Exams.

The new musical being developed at BYMT’s York Camp is ‘Wayward’: An anthology of wonderfully weird folk tales from Ireland and Britain exploring love, death, gender, nature, and darkly comic surprises.

BYMT Camps are hosted in boarding schools and universities across the UK, with a Creative Team and Pastoral Team present at all times. A member of the BYMT office team is always on site at the beginning and end of a camp, with regular visits through the week.

The Creative Team consists of a Director, a Musical Director and a Choreographer. They are responsible for all things creative in the project. They are theatre professionals who are there to ensure that participants perform to the best of their ability and create a unique piece of work.

Our dedicated Pastoral Team – made up of one Pastoral Lead and three experienced team members – is available 24 hours a day during a camp to provide continuous practical and emotional support. These caring professionals are well-versed in working with young people and are there to ensure that every young person feels safe, supported, and cared for throughout their time with us.
