Program Highlights
Have you ever wanted to bring your story to live? In this camp, we will be creating a short stop-motion animated film from start to finish. Campers will work together to develop a story, write a script, create characters, scenery and backdrops, and film a stop motion animation frame by frame. After filming is complete, campers will become voice actors, and add the dialogue to their film. The final film will be screened on the last day of camp, as part of the performing art performances. Families and friends are welcome to attend.
