to Jul 11

Kids' Summer Film Camp (ages 9 - 14)

During this 5-day filmmaking summer camp 'sequel', aspiring young storytellers aged 9-14 will take a deeper plunge into how films are made. Building off last summer's introduction into the movie-making process, this year will focus more on special effects and working within a pre-existing storyline that comes with sets and props. Campers will work in groups as they focus on the unique aspects of a non-linear shooting schedule and many of the different ways in which effects are created to tell a story in the movie medium. Best of all, campers will have a short film to screen by the end of week.

Sign up soon- space is limited!

Camp Dates: Monday July 7 - Friday July 11, 10am - 3pm,

Film Ccreening: Saturday July 12

Location: Beach School, 3786 Centerview Road, Lummi Island, WA 98262

Registration cost: $250/child, however LIFE is offering a sliding scale and no child will be turned away. Please get in touch if you need financial assistance for your child to attend camp.

Featuring Lummi Island Camp Instructors and volunteers.
