Students will have full access to state-of-the-art film studios and gain hands-on experience in film and video production. This camp offers a chance for students to pitch story ideas, write, direct, act, and edit. Students will learn the techniques necessary to bring their creative vision to the screen.

    Film Camp is open to any student between the ages of 14-18 as of July 1, 2025. This camp is perfect for students interested in writing, filming, directing, and theater.
