Here is a link for a San Francisco Shakespeare Summer Camp:

There is a teen camp for ages 12-18 and an Advanced Acting camp for the same age range as well. I have no experience with these but just remembered seeing them advertised.

those are excellent suggestions.
Bay Area Parent has a great set of advertisements for lots of summer camp options. It's free. Lots of doctor's offices and libraries have them around for free. They do have a website, but it's hard to navigate, in my opinion.
There may be other summer drama camp options in the magazine that the ladies didn't post, but those are the ones I know of. I think the PYT already had their auditions for the summer production.

Peninsula Youth Theatre in Palo Alto (www.pytnet.org)--runs two-week all-day camps
Starting Arts (Silicon Valley area) runs, I think, a 4-week camp, 9-2 or 9-3 PM, www.startingarts.com
Villa Montalvo in Saratoga also runs a summer performing arts camp (I think their website is www.montalvo.org)--10AM to 4 PM. Wonderful program but kind of pricey and you have to buy tickets to see your child perform in the Friday evening show
Good Luck and have fun!
