Media Arts Center San Diego, producers of the San Diego Latino Film Festival, now offers Fall/Winter Youth Media & Tech Camps, to help usher in a new generation of filmmakers. The Fall/Winter Youth Media & Tech Camps are weeklong sessions, which run from November 21 to November 23, December 5 to December 9, December 12 to December 16 and December 19 to December 30. These 3 and 5 day Media and Tech Camps will focus on film making, stop motion and blogging!

Our camps teach campers will know how to collaborate with each other using media and technology arts, while engaging with others in an increasingly connected world. Learning these basic media tools in a fun and collective environment provides our campers with skills to utilize the newest media technologies in a positive and productive way. In turn, it will put them on a path for success in their future careers.

Geared for ages 9-14, they learn about various multi-media practices and software including stop motion animation, movie making, music recording, blogging, and more! These fun-filled camps run Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. At the end of the week, parents and family members are invited to a private screening of the work created by campers. They also receive a DVD of their work.

"We found the Media Arts Center on a lucky fluke. Wow, what a find! My two kids, ages 11 and 15 participated in the camp where they learned more about video production and the Internet than I have learned in my entire life. The facility has great equipment, computers, etc. and the instructors made the experience exceptional. The kids loved their time at the Center and learned valuable skills. They produced stop motion animation films, created a web page, and posted videos on You Tube. All in all, an awesome experience," says camp parent, William Ortiz.

Cost is $120.00 for the 3-day session and $185 for th 5-day sessions. Discounts are available for multi-camp registrations and siblings. Become a member today and receive an additional discount.
