Start their filmmaking journey with camp fun, away from the Florida sun! Over the course of five days, campers will learn the basics of video production, connect with other future filmmakers, and put their newfound skills to the test by working together to make their own short film! Our film camps feature hands-on workshops led by industry professionals, all guided by an Emmy-winning team with over two decades of experience—hosted in comfortable, air-conditioned spaces provided by DeLand Parks & Recreation. Create your own movie magic—and premiere it for the world at Movie Magic Video Camp!
