YPI will begin its 28th season in 2008. Over the past 27 years, YPI has helped more than 3,000 young people discover and develop their talents as writers, artists, musicians, dancers and actors. We are looking forward to another sellout summer at the University of Bridgeport, our new home. Today our journey is more important than ever.

Housed at The University of Bridgeport and bordered by some of the finest sandy beaches between New York and Cape Cod, YPI is a co-educational, residential summer camp for the arts.

YPI workshops include one to two week workshops for young people grades 6-12 who have an interest or ability in writing or the visual and performing arts.
