We offer two camps for students to get their full fix of Digital Media: Film Camp and Journalism Camp. At film camp, work with other campers to write, direct, and shoot your very own short film. View your own debut on the big screen!  Our Journalism camp helps students dive into the field of interviews, creating photographs and videos, and meeting reporters from newspapers and TV. Interested in both? No problem - both our camps operate on separate weeks, helping students gain as much tutelage as possible with our expert faculty.
