SDC (Summer Drama Camp) has been described by campers and staff as a special, magical place. The camps serve as a playground where the worlds of art, recreation, and the outdoors collide. Hosted by YMCA Camp Loma Mar (August), and Camp Sempervirens (July), Summer Drama Camp is nestled in the beautiful Redwood Forest between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay, just off the coast in sunny California. The camps boast acres of pristine wilderness, full bathroom facilities, including showers, a restaurant quality kitchen, outdoor amphitheater, campfire area with a stage, swimming pool, sports field, miles of hiking trails, and more. Both camps are accredited through the American Camping Association having exceeded the more than 300 stringent standards in the categories of health, safety, staffing, training, programming, and transportation.

Summer camps are not a regular part of childhood in the United Kingdom, as they are in the United States. The term "summer camp" itself is not considered to be British English (the industry body is called the British Activity Holiday Association[2]). Camps in the UK are ... generally less specialised that within the United States and most offer a fairly broad Multi-Activity programme of adventure activities alongside some fun social elements. This is partly due to the fact that summer camps in the UK grew as an off-shoot of the activity holiday industry and therefore was very influenced by their adventure-only outdoor programme. THe UK has for the past few decades had a number of organisations that have established themselves more along the traditional American Camp model with a very wide range of holiday options as well as themed camps and major event days. Noticeably in recent years they have stopped marketing themselves as "American-style" possibly because the US is a little out of fashion currently or because the English summer camps are better established with greater awareness from parents as to what exactly they offer young people.

Summer Camp encourages participants to take responsibility for leadership and programme planning. Each camp focuses on a specific educational theme. Participants work together to plan activities and discussions which build on the chosen theme.
