What Do Campers Learn At Camp?
Participants will form teams, storyboard, direct, shoot, and edit an original music video for a local band, and screen their videos in a showcase at the end of the week.
Each day, campers will film with their film team, attend filmmaking instruction workshops, have mini-screenings with filmmakers, and participate in self care, social justice, and creativity workshops.
Throughout the week, campers are urged to work together as a team, build confidence in each other, and foster each other's unique abilities through peer encouragement.
Campers will learn:
-to support each other and work collaboratively
-to use cameras and editing equipment to make music videos (media literacy is cool!)
-to think about equity and how they might use filmmaking to create a more just world
-to be in community with a diverse group of people who also share their identities
-to be supported in taking creative risks and being vulnerable in their creativity with their peers
Does My Camper Need To Bring Equipment To Camp?
