Virtual camps
Since March 2020, CinemaKidz has taught virtual classes and camps to over 2,000 children throughout the country. We have worked extremely hard to create a successful, unique, and engaging program that can be taken from anywhere. Virtual Camps are coupled with high quality carefully curated materials kits bringing hands-on learning home.
Ages 5 to 15
Our camps are broken up by age and ability. Teachers are well-versed in teaching all levels from the novice filmmaker to the experienced media master. Children use accessible equipment and software that teaches the fundamentals of filmmaking and animation, with programs ranging from iMovie to Adobe Suite!
In-Person Summer Camps Return 2021
CinemaKidz will be back with in-person camps this summer. We're taking the safety of our students and faculty seriously and building guidelines and protocols in line with recommendations from the CDC, DOH, and Board of Education. All children will receive PPE, we will practice stringent sanitizing practices, and we will enact social distancing when possible. All camps will spend a good deal of time outdoors.
