The Festival includes a summer musical theatre training program called the "Confederation Centre Young Company." The Young Company shows are freely available to the public and take place at noon outside Confederation Centre. The shows typically feature Canadian-themed content.

A piece from the play was performed for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during their tour of PEI in 2011.As a Canada 150 Signature Project, the Young Company toured from coast to coast to coast in 2017, presenting the original musical The Dream Catchers and working with youth in each city.
