Take A Peak Behind The Scenes at Camp

New York loves Camp CinemaKidz

Serving 5,000+ students each year in NYC and Greater Boston, and over 70 5-star Reviews

My daughter loved CinemaKidz camp this summer. She did 3 weeks and tried a different focus each week - video game making, stop motion animation and live action movie making. She loved the creative freedom that she had and was so proud of what she created. She's now always surprising us with her knowledge of movie making (``mom- they must have shot that on a green screen``)

We love CinemaKidz! My daughter just completed camp and said it was her favorite summer activity. The class was super fun and interactive. Counselors were kind and helpful. Recess was a blast. She canā€™t wait to attend a fall class.

My 10 year old twins loved CinemaKidz! This was our first summer and they both want to come back next year. The counselors are fantastic. They are engaging and fun while really knowing their stuff. I was a little worried that one son who I signed up for their YouTube unit would just watch Minecraft videos all week but they are making movies and YouTube Channel trailers and talking about internet safety.
