Whatever your dreams are - to be a film maker, musician, designer or inventor, remember, everything has a little bit of Design to it.

Thinnox Summer Design Camps are between 2 to 4 weeks duration. The programs offered between June 29 and September 3 are primarily for creative individuals in age categories: 10 to 13 and 14+. However, we also have some specialized programs for creative 6-9 year olds. Take a look at the calendar and pick the program that's right for you.

The typical camp day starts at 9:00 am and ends at 4:30 pm. During the camp day, besides formal instruction in a chosen area, campers are involved in organized team activities through the day that is sure to test their imagination, creativity, reflexes, team spirit and organizational skills. All programs are well rounded and include elements of graphic design, sound design and visual arts. Some programs also come with an introduction to the world of computers.

Thinnox Summer Design Camps are a unique combo of fun and serious creativity. Our class sizes are restricted to just 6 participants. Friendly and knowledgeable instructors make sure your program goals are achieved; you work and have fun. In short, we guarantee an experience that will last you through the entire year, if not your entire lifetime. And if, after attending the Camp's day one, for some reason, you don't feel the same, we promise full tuition refund. So try it out.

Ishiki Journalism Workshops is for aspiring young writers, focusing on practical hands on experience, taking the student from story research to interviewing a subject in person with a full camera crew, to writing the article piece. Photo journalism is also taught using digital mediums where students learn to accompany the piece with the correct photo to tell the story. Programs used are Adobe Indesign, Photoshop, teaching advanced photo editing and forms of layout. Students learn the practice of journalism in its most professional manner, and most importantly sharpen and improve their writing and story telling skills. Uniquely the course includes pottery in which the student is encouraged to create a written ceramic scroll or vessel made on our pottery wheel.
