Kids Summer Camps and Workshops

BUILD SKILLS IN FILMMAKING AND CONTENT CREATION

In NYFA’s kids summer camps and workshops, aspiring young storytellers aged 10-13 build skills in filmmaking and content creation. During these hands-on programs, students write, shoot, direct, and edit their own films, studying under the guidance of our faculty of professional filmmakers and directors. In our level one programs, students learn the art of filmmaking. Students spend a majority of time creating their own video content and developing fundamental knowledge in cinematic storytelling. Those who complete a level one camp may progress to our level two camps. Here, they’ll learn additional filmmaking techniques and continue to create their own original short films.

Currently, NYFA offers in-person summer camps and workshops held during the academic year. We also offer online programs on a seasonal basis.
