MAKE A STATEMENT THIS SUMMER BY DOING SOMETHING TRULY EXCEPTIONAL - create movies, from script-to-screen! With Filmmakrs Ink, aspiring young filmmakers will gain knowledge in every aspect of filmmaking. The first week will focus on screenwriting with the Filmmakers Ink staff guiding your child through the script development process as they write their own screenplay. Our staff of professional filmmakers will then guide all of the young filmmakers as they work together as a team to produce films from these scripts with actors from our Acting For Film Program. From script development to creating lighting design and shot lists, the process of making your film will build confidence, hone your ability to work as a member of a team and leave you with a finished film to add to your portfolio. Filmmakers Ink Summer Film Camps are currently being held in NYC, Scarsdale and Harrison, NY; Fairfield, Hartford, Litchfield, New Haven and Middlesex Counties in CT; Longmeadow, MA; and Santa Fe, NM.

Since 1942, Buck's Rock camp has remained an educational institution for the Performing and Creative Arts that has never lost faith in the innate capacity of young people to structure their time intelligently and to use freedom courageously and productively. Buck's Rock Performing and Creative Arts Camp provides campers the freedom to choose their activities on a daily basis, and a supportive, non-competitive environment in which to explore their interests. Campers work along side qualified professional artists and teachers who nurture and support their talents and skills as they perform and create. Each activity has its own area and is equipped to professional standards. We believe that young people can best act and work creatively when they choose their activities and are allowed the time they need to pursue them.

Activities:
The Performing Arts include: music - featuring orchestral, jazz, ensembles, choral, rock, percussion, recording studio and private instruction, theater, musical theater, dance, clowning and improvisation, and stand up comedy. The Creative Arts include, among many others, glassblowing, ceramics, woodworking, sculpture, photography, sewing, painting, printmaking, weaving, bookarts, publications and creative writing, computers and video. There are also ample opportunities for campers to take part in activities such as sports, swimming, spelunking, animal farming, horseback riding, etc. Campers work along side qualified professional artists and teachers who nurture and support their talents and skills as they perform and create.

Camp Location:
Buck's Rock Camp, located in New Milford CT., is situated on 125 acres of deeply wooded forests only 75 miles from New York City. Buck's Rock is located in the heart of many cultural facilities.
