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.
Young filmmakers ages 8-11 bring their fandom inspirations to life through hands-on scriptwriting, character design, puppet building, acting, and original film production. Using professional DSLR cameras, green screens, and stop-motion animation at the scenic World Forestry Center, kids craft a brand-new short film each week. Each week features a different creative project, building storytelling and filmmaking skills. Scholarships available for qualifying families.
