Be A Star is a long-running holiday programme by the Africa, Film & Tv Production, Acting for Film TV & Theatre, Animation & VFX, Radio Production, Music & Artistic Development. Created to engage children and teenagers aged 6 to 19 years during school breaks, it has been running for nearly a decade - offering a powerful blend of creative expression, leadership development, and life skills training.
Designed for children who love the arts - and even those just beginning to explore their talents - the programme combines fun, discovery, and growth in a safe and inclusive environment. It’s more than just a camp; it’s a space where self-belief, creativity, and friendships flourish.
Acting and Performance Training
Music, Dance, and Creative Expression
Teamwork and Fun Outdoor Activities
Leardership and Confidence Building
Participants are guided by passionate, experienced instructors and mentors — all professionals in their creative fields. Through hands-on workshops and collaborative projects, every child or teen is given the space to find their voice, build confidence, and shine in their own unique way
The highlight of the programme is our week-long bootcamps, which are held during school holidays in April, August, and December. These bootcamps are hosted in inspiring locations across Kenya, allowing young people to connect not just with their creativity, but with nature, culture, and new friendships.
These venues offer exciting, secure, and creatively stimulating environments that inspire learning, play, and self-discovery.
Each bootcamp ends with a final performance or screening, where students present what they’ve created or rehearsed. All participants receive a Certificate of Participation, and many go on to audition for full-time AFTTTI programmes, scholarships, and future performance projects.
Whether your child is already confident on stage or simply exploring their interests, Be A Star helps them develop essential life skills such as communication, teamwork, emotional expression, and resilience — all while having an unforgettable time.
Be A Star – Where talent meets purpose, and every young voice is celebrated.
The programme is currently based at: Ambar House, 2nd Floor, Baricho Road, behind Highway Mall, Nairobi
