NW Film Camp offers filmmaking camps for kids and teens interested in learning the art and craft of film production.
Summer programs include week-long day camps for ages 8-11 (Creator Camp) and 12-17 (Filmmaker Camp), covering scriptwriting, filming, editing, and collaborative storytelling.
Camps are held at the World Forestry Center in Washington Park, a central location in southwest Portland.
Creative kids ages 8-11 explore original storytelling through hands-on filmmaking at PCC Southeast in SE Portland. Each week is a completely new project — using DSLR cameras, green screens, and stop-motion animation, campers develop characters, write scripts, build puppets, and produce their own short films. Every week offers fresh skills and new creative challenges. Scholarships available for qualifying families.
