Camp Multimedia (CMM) is a digital media summer camp for high school students based at the University of Northern Iowa, will expand to two weeks this summer, and will offer a residential experience option with overnight stays in UNI dormitories.

The camp offers intense instruction from UNI media professors and industry professionals. Using Photoshop, Flash, After Effects, and digital video editing, students learn how to integrate images, 2-D and 3-D animation, and video together in professional-level projects. Besides a week of digital media production, students have the opportunity to learn basic multimedia programming skills during a second week of CMM. Taught by computer science professors at UNI, students learn how computers represent digital images and sounds, manipulate media and create customized effects.
Camp Multimedia costs $350 for each week-long experience, not including the room and board option (add $325). Participants may also receive one hour of UNI college credit
