Lights, Camera, Action! - Video Camp 101

Guided by a professional videographer, kids ages 10 - 17 will learn the fundamentals of videography as they explore the Resort and develop program story lines to document on film in this 4-day program.

"This camp is great fun," says Peter Ingvoldstad, director of Summer Fun University, which houses Smugglers' camps programs. "Last Summer the kids really got into developing programs and had a great time doing newscasts and spoofs of popular television shows." All this and fun at the pools, too!

The camp also provides participants with hands-on skills and an introduction to a possible future career. Kids will produce, tape, and edit their own video project while learning about camera operation, lighting, editing, animation, special effects, fades, wipes and transitions. All participants will produce a final project that will debut at the big screen Video Showcase Premiere during the FunMeister's Summer Showcase on Thursday evenings. They will receive their own copy of their work to take home as a special souvenir of their time at Smugglers'.

Monday - Thursday, 9:30 am - 4:00 pm. 4-day, Regular price $349 per person. FamilyFest guests take 25% OFF. All prices include lunch.
