Kids' Summer Film Camp (ages 9 - 14)
2025 CAMP IS NOW FULL!
During this 5-day filmmaking summer camp 'sequel', aspiring young storytellers aged 9-14 will take a deeper plunge into how films are made. Building off last summer's introduction into the movie-making process, this year will focus more on special effects and working within a pre-existing storyline that comes with sets and props. Campers will work in groups as they focus on the unique aspects of a non-linear shooting schedule and many of the different ways in which effects are created to tell a story in the movie medium. Best of all, campers will have a short film to screen!
Sign up soon- space is limited!
Camp Dates: Monday July 7 - Friday July 11, 10am - 3pm,
Film Screening: Friday July 18
Location: Beach School, 3786 Centerview Road, Lummi Island, WA 98262
