Youth Filmmaking Camps

Presented by Docs In Progress at Takoma Park Community Center

Docs In Progress offers middle school and high school students documentary filmmaking day camps which give participants tools to express themselves through video in a fun and educational small group environment. In 2018, we are excited to partner with the City of Takoma Park to hold youth (ages 12-17) documentary filmmaking camps over the summer at the Takoma Park Community Center. Camp takes place 9:00 am - 4:00 pm Monday - Friday.

July 30-August 10: Impacting the World Through Video: Summer Camp
In this two-week fun and educational day camp, youth will work in small teams to plan, shoot, and edit short documentary videos about an issue or cause of importance locally. Participants will develop a call to action and create a short video which may incorporate interviews, archival materials, narration, music, and original footage. Participants will be provided access to and training with video cameras and the Final Cut Pro editing system.

Final projects will be uploaded to YouTube and may also be featured at the Community Stories Film Festival to be held in Fall 2018.

Registration will open via Takoma Park Recreation Department in February 2018. Aftercare is available at an additional cost.
