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.
Our Advanced Camps offer aspiring filmmakers an exciting opportunity to work on projects perfect for scholarships, grants, film festivals, educational applications, and digital portfolios. Students gain hands-on production experience and on-set protocol training in a supportive environment, preparing them for future success. Alumni are invited to join the Teen Filmmaker Lab in 2025 at no cost and may qualify for internships and production opportunities. For young actors, writers, and directors, StoryCraft Film Production Camp focuses on narrative storytelling, scriptwriting, and crafting compelling stories with minimal dialogue and creative direction. This fun yet challenging camp is perfect for those ready to channel their inner Ava DuVernay, Barry Jenkins, or Stanley Kubrick!
