In2Drama’s Gold DofE Residential enables young people to complete their Gold Residential Section while taking part in one of two creative programmes and staying at Sayers Croft Outdoor Centre in Surrey.

Option 1: Performing Arts + TV Production Summer Academy Residential £1070 (£375 for boarding and £695 for the academy)
27–31 July 2026 (5 nights residential from 26–31 July)
Participants work with industry professionals in acting, singing, dance and performance.

Option 2: Film in a Week Residential £675 (£300 boarding and £375 for the film production course)
3–7 August 2026 (4 nights residential from 3–7 August)
Participants work with industry professionals in filmmaking, directing, filming and production.

Throughout the week, participants develop creative, communication and teamwork skills through practical workshops and collaborative projects. They work alongside other young people from different backgrounds, many of whom they will not have met before, helping to build confidence, independence and lasting friendships.

Supervised evening activities form part of the residential experience, encouraging social interaction and personal growth in a safe and supportive environment.

Both programmes meet the requirements of the Gold DofE Residential Section and provide an engaging, rewarding experience that develops skills, resilience and confidence.
