About the activity:

IIn this four-day stop motion animation camp for kids ages 8–10, young creators will discover how stories come alive through movement, materials, and imagination with guidance from teaching artist and animator Emma Prochaska. Campers will dream up stories, sketch simple storyboards, and transform everyday materials like clay, felt, cut paper, found objects, and armatures into characters, props, and miniature worlds. Using iPads, they’ll animate their creations frame by frame, exploring techniques such as motion studies, flip books, found object animation, and pixilation while building creativity, problem-solving skills, and friendships through collaboration and play. The week concludes with a lively showcase where campers proudly share their animated stories with family and friends, celebrating curiosity, creativity, and the magic of making things move.
