One of our most popular camps!! In our Special Effects camp; campers learn the science behind Hollywood's special effects as we create our stop-motion animated "mini-movies" during the course of the week. Activities will demonstate concepts related to light, sound, perception, illusion, and model building. Campers will also learn various special effect make-up techniques working with the same materials used by professional make-up artists to simulate cuts, bruises, artificial blood, and old age. We'll also learn about green screens as we write scripts and act out our own newscast! Is there a future movie director living in your house?

Students typically WORK IN GROUPS OF TWO while designing their stop-motion films - please make sure to let your child know they will work with a partner while designing their stop-motion creations. (NOTE: This is dependent upon the state of COVID-19 at the start of camp.)

Our camps are 9am-4pm with pre and post camp options available as well! Please pack a peanut-free snack bag lunch and refreshment for your child. Each camper receives one free camp t-shirt with each week of registration - order as many extras as you want at checkout!
