In these fun, educational, and hands-on camps, youth ages 6-12 learn storytelling, cinematography, editing, animation, green screen, and more!

Young Creators Media Camps

Youth flex their technology and creativity muscles by making their own short films! Through project-based learning, campers dive into the fundamentals of pre-production, production, and post-production, such as storyboarding, camerawork, editing, sound design, stop motion, and green screen! Campers work closely with local media arts professionals to bring an original film idea from script to screen, culminating in an end-of-program showcase for family and friends at Digital Gym Cinema!
