The Bellisario College of Communications at Penn State offers an exciting opportunity for students interested in film to participate in a weeklong summer camp! 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. Campers will stay in dorms on the University Park campus, enjoy meals in campus dining halls, and work on creative projects taught by Penn State faculty members in our state-of-the-art media center.
Early registration for the camp is $1500 with a deadline to apply by April 27, 2025. After this date, the cost of the camp is $1700 per camper and the payment deadline is May 31, 2025. This is inclusive of room and board for the full week of camp. No payment is due at the time of application.
