Jacob Burns Film Centers Media Arts Lab

Whisking your kids away on a creative journey, the Jacob Burns Film Centers Media Arts Lab transforms their summer into a playground with a delightful blend of dance, film, music, photography, and performing arts. Perfect for budding storytellers and future movie makers, this camp offers an unforgettable educational and entertaining odyssey. In the 'Seeing Stories' program, aimed at children between 4-7 years of age, children dive into a captivating one-week journey into storytelling and visual literacy. It's the perfect start to set their imagination on fire and nurture their creative side. For those between 8-13 years, 'Lab Camp' offers a series of dynamic daylong workshops that peel the curtain back on the immersive world of filmmaking. Here they get a chance to taste different slices of cinema pie — from animation to scriptwriting. In a league of its own, the camp also caters to teens aged 14-18 with exclusive programs that focus on advanced filmmaking disciplines. The best part? Each camp session concludes with 'Family Friday', where families get the privilege of viewing campers' creations and sharing their pride and joy. In this extraordinary haven, campers not only get a chance to learn new skills, but they also get to bring their movies home in DVD form. Thus, the fruits of their newly discovered creativity can be enjoyed long after the camp is over. Perfect for families looking to infuse fun and learning into their summer plans, the Jacob Burns Film Centers Media Arts Lab presents an enriching experience that plays well with dreams and stimulates creativity. It's like giving your child a backstage pass to the world of arts and storytelling — all while making delightful summer memories.
