Movie Makers Summer Camps: Create Your Own Movie in Just One Week!
Our summer day camps pack the excitement of a full filmmaking session into one unforgettable week! Campers dive into every aspect of movie-making: writing, directing, acting, and operating the camera to bring their very own movie to life.
Each week begins with a theme that sparks creativity. Together, we craft an original story, develop unique characters, design sets, and even work on costumes and makeup! Campers also get hands-on experience with modern digital video equipment in a crash course on camera work and filming techniques.
The magic happens as we put all these skills together to create our movie! Every camper spends time both in front of and behind the camera, with opportunities to focus on the parts of filmmaking they love most. By the end of the week, we’ll have a completed movie to showcase everyone’s talents.
A few weeks later, we celebrate our hard work with a premiere party! Friends and family are invited to gather under the stars and watch our movie on our giant outdoor screen. Plus, everyone receives a downloadable link to their movie as a keepsake (trust us, you’ll be watching it for years to come!)
Each week-long summer camp costs $500, and includes the week of camp, the premiere party, and a link to a digital copy of the movie.
