Movie Production (Grades 7-10)
Film camp in California is perfect for anyone interested in making their own movies. Coordinated by Planet Bravo, students work in small production groups to plan, produce, edit and package their own short movies. All students leave camp with a DVD of their movie. Cost: $495 per student.
Video Game Creation (Grades 4-6):
Also coordinated by Planet Bravo, this camp teaches students how to make their own interactive video game. In a few simple clicks, they assign behaviors and conditions to their objects, and the game comes to life. All students leave this video game camp with their games online and on a USB drive. Cost: $495 per student.
Jedi Training Camp
In partnership with Swordplay Studio in Burbank, Terranea presents Jedi training camp for children ages 4-12. Campers create their own Jedi character and develop their balance and coordination through fun Jedi training games, and lessons in how to wield a light saber. Surprise visits from some of the favorite Star Wars characters, as guest instructors, make this an experience of a lifetime. Cost: $500 per participant.
Fencing Camp
Campers are introduced to one of Hollywood's favorite art forms- fencing! Students receive instruction in footwork and technique, take part in fencing drills and games, learn about the history of fencing and even compete in an in-class fencing tournament. Cost: $380 per participant.
A stay at this Southern California resort is not required to participate in the camps and no experience is necessary. A special $195 per room rate will be offered to all participants during the camp dates. Cost for the camps includes a buffet lunch each day.
