FilmScene's summer camps have been awarded the CRANDIC's "Best Summer Camp." Additionally, we feature individual day camps over spring break. Kids third grade and up have the chance to learn stop motion animation and miniature building skills and develop their creativity.

Tell your own stories with FilmScene! At Animation Camp, campers imagine and create their own animations, totally from scratch. Each day, campers learn the key principles of animation and explore the styles of 2D paper, 3D object, Pixilation, Claymation, and replacement animation and then apply these lessons by making their own videos. Want to build your own sets? Join our Miniatures Camp and learn how to construct miniatures for film.
