What to Expect at Summer Film Camps

While the focus of a summer film camp is about acting or making a film, the camps are great for building lasting friendships. Camps do include classes in film making and acting for films, but it also provides free time and group activities where kids spend time being kids.

Generally campers rise between 7:00 and 8:00 AM and have breakfast together before attending their acting or film making classes. At noon, the campers enjoy lunch before returning to classes. Dinner is served after the final class of the day and then the rest of the evening is open for free activities and socialization. At the end of the camp, students hold final screenings of their movies or videos and everyone enjoys a wrap party.
