At the Summer Film Camp, students are divided by age into groups of no more than 10 campers (we aim for 6 campers per group). Each group will take 4 speciality classes. Each speciality class is 30 minutes long with the rest of the day spent working on filming their projects. Additionally, there are two snack breaks as well as a lunch break. Classes begin at 8:00 am and end at 3:30 pm. To see an example of the daily schedule, please click here.

The Summer Film Camp will be open in the summer of 2024. To ensure that students, staff and families will be as safe as possible, we have restructured our camp and implemented a number of safety measures.
Students are broken up into small group production teams based on age. If you would like to request your child be grouped with a friend of the same age, you may do so and we will do our best to accommodate your request. NO switching of production teams is permitted under any circumstances.
Yes! All campers will have their work shown at the Film Festival at the La Canada Playhouse on the last day of camp. Each camper will have a limited numbers of tickets for their family to be able to attend. Further details and the time of the film festival will be released during your camper's session.
The Summer Film Camp is structured as a full-day program, and we hope your child can attend camp every day. If you have to miss a day or two because of vacation plans or your school schedule, we completely understand and that's not a problem at all. If you have a longer schedule conflict that would cause you to miss more than a few days, please email us so we can work something out.
At the Summer Film Camp, we welcome all levels of experience! Our instructors are trained to adjust the curriculum to meet the individual needs of the students. Beginning students with no prior experience will be made to feel right at home while advanced students will be given differentiated instruction to ensure their needs are being met!
Nope, you won't need to purchase any special supplies or clothes - all classroom materials are provided by the Summer Film Camp!

You'll need to pack a lunch AND a water bottle for your child every day - we don't provide meals for the students. Make sure that you pack extra snacks with their lunch (as there are two snack breaks during the day). Please make sure you send your child with a large water bottle with their name clearly written on it.
