Little Fish Camps

Little Fish Camps use comic creation as the central project. In Kidz Comic Camp, ages 7–11 begin with core comic storytelling concepts, including how panels work. From there, campers develop characters and move through the practical stages of making a page: penciling, inking, and coloring. The goal is a completed comic story that each child can call their own, and materials for this track are included.

For older campers, Dungeons & Dragons and Comics blends role-playing with art. Participants create characters, take part in a D&D campaign led by Assistant Lead Teaching Artist Serena Leitner, and then create a comic based on what happened during the game. This structure lets the shared adventure become source material for each camper’s visual story.

The Dark Academia LGBTIA+ Oneshot is a separate D&D-and-comics option for ages 17 and up. Campers create characters, play through a themed one-shot adventure, and make a comic about it. Previous art or comic-making experience is recommended for this specific track. Across the programs, the focus stays on making, storytelling, and learning comic-art processes in a studio built around the medium.
