It’s hard to believe the school year is almost over and we’re planning our final vacation day camp. We hope the year hasn’t flown by without your child getting a taste of moviemaking either in our studio or an one of our after-school programs!

There is still time to register for Monday’s program at our studio location in central Denver, and of course there are many summer camps still open, too!

What do parents think of the Digistars program?

 

What’s it like to go to a Digistars Make-a-Movie Workshop summer camp?

Campers build elaborate sets on which to stage their movies.

Our weeklong summer camps run Monday through Friday from 9am-3pm, with extended care options available from 8am-6pm. Camps run through June, July, and August.

 

If you love talking about movies, watching movies, and learning how movies are made, this is the camp for you! Digital storytelling is all about the stories. We balance the screen time with plenty of outside play as we eat lunch and spend our breaks at a nearby playground.

Once inside, however, our focus is on creating our stories and bringing them to life.

Campers split into production groups (yes, Holding-clayyou can work with your friends!) and map out their stories on storyboards. Then they build sets, mold characters, and commence filming their masterpieces!

A Digistars camp is a hands-on integration of art with technology that offers real skills for succeeding in school and beyond.

Summer camp sessions are filling quickly – one session has already sold out! – so be sure to register your Digistar today!

IMG_2133The Make-a-Movie Workshop Ltd has secured a fantastic location at a big discount and is passing the savings on to campers!

It is exciting to announce that the Make-a-Movie Workshop summer camps will be hosted inside the newly-renovated Neighborhood Music Stapleton studios located alongside the southern border of Stapleton, just off of Fulton at 25th.

2525 Geneva Street, Suite 1, Aurora, CO 80010

As a result of landing this awesome location, The Make-a-Movie Workshop is able to realize a significant savings and is thrilled to pass this savings along to campers and their families.

ALERT: The fees for camps have dropped from $329 to $175!

That’s almost 50% off of previously posted prices!

In Make-a-Movie Workshop programs, a dedicated staff guides students in 2nd through 8th grade toward bringing their stories to life using Apple iPad technology and lots of fun! Sessions offer both clay-mation and live action filmmaking experiences. A nearby playground will provide outside entertainment during the daily breaks and after-care hours.

What could be more fun this summer than making movies together with a bunch of other creative and enterprising kids under the guidance of enthusiastic college- and graduate-school film students?
