Emily VanCamp was born on May 12, 1986 to her mother and animal nutritionist father in the small town of Port Perry, Ontario, Canada. Growing up, she was third in the family of four girls, so it can be said she was a hyper middle child. At the ripe young age of three, Emily started dancing all around her house. When she got older, she told her mother she wanted to move away from home to pursue it further. Her mother was hesitant, but supported her daughter nonetheless. At 11, Emily applied to L’Ecole Superieure de Danse de Quebec and when she was accepted, she moved there to study ballet, jazz, hip-hop, and tap.

She moved to Los Angeles in early 2002. Emily VanCamp first appeared in 2000’s Canadian television Are You Afraid of the Dark? as the character Peggy Gregory for the two episodes "The Tale of the Silver Sight: Part 2" and "The Tale of the Silver Sight: Part 3." Her next 2000’s role was in Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, in which she played the character of Jackie Bouvier at 13 years of age. She appeared again in 2000 in the television series Radio Active in the episode "Bully for You", portraying the character Becky Sue. In 2001 VanCamp appeared in Lost and Delirious playing Allison Moller. She also appeared in All Souls as Kirstin Caine, Johanna Wilson in Dice and in Glory Days as Sam Dolan.
