Do you have a budding young filmmaker? My First Film Camp introduces children ages 5–7 to the exciting world of storytelling and filmmaking through creativity, play, and hands-on exploration.
This camp focuses on imagination, collaboration, and fun, giving young creators the tools to express themselves and share ideas with the world through media in a supportive, joyful environment. Camp instructors create a nurturing atmosphere where campers explore storytelling, experiment with film tools, and learn how technology can help them share ideas with the world.
This one-week camp offers multiple sessions with unique themes and purchasing multiple sessions is encouraged.
SAMPLE ACTIVITIES
1. Storytelling & Imagination Play: Campers create simple stories, characters, and plots through group storytelling. Picture books and photographs help them learn the basics of visual storytelling.
2. Puppet Shows & Drama: Using puppets, costumes, and simple role-play, campers act out their stories, learning how characters, emotions, and ideas come to life.
3. Animation & Stop-Motion: Using clay, toys, or paper cutouts, campers create simple stop-motion animations. Instructors break the process into fun, easy steps that teach sequencing and movement.
4. Basic Filmmaking with Tablets or Phones: With guidance, campers shoot short video clips on tablets or smartphones, learning framing, simple shot types, and how to capture their creative ideas on camera.
5. Sound & Music Fun: Campers explore sound effects, music, and voiceover, experimenting with instruments and everyday objects to bring their scenes to life.
6. Interactive Movie Time: Children watch short, age-appropriate films and animations with active discussion of characters, story, and predictions, teaching them to be curious, engaged viewers.
7. Art Projects: Campers design posters, draw favorite scenes, create simple props, or craft costumes for puppet performances, expanding their creative expression.
