Kids will work on their movie’s story through storytelling games and activities, including storyboards and improv. They will learn to outline and script their story. We’ll learn about roles on a movie set, and camera and lighting techniques.

Throughout the week, kids will spend a lot of their time creating their movie with the help of their counselors, broken up with games, crafts and activity breaks. It is a lot of work to complete a film in just 1 week, but our Film Experts are there to guide our campers through the process.

Campers' finished movie will be available for online download.

Pizza lunch is provided for all campers on Friday.

Parents may pre-order a hot dog lunch from the theatre (available Monday – Thursday).

Parents should otherwise send lunch (no nut products) and snacks.

At every Movie Magic camp our focus is on imagination and creativity as we work with our young guests to create a memorable and exciting day together. Our day consists of various activities including learning to use film equipment by making a short video and of course watching a movie on the big screen! All with the end goal of hoping to inspire the formation of new ideas, build on individual creativity and have a whole lot of fun in the process.

Our camp is offered to those ages 7-12 and is run with a minimum 1:10 ratio of adult to child allowing us to provide greater focus on your child’s enjoyment during the Movie Magic Day Camp experience.

We know PA Days can be difficult to schedule around and we believe in making the experience as painless as possible for parents.

To that end, our camp runs from 8:30AM to 4:00PM, longer than a regular school day, with an option for AfterCare (until 6pm) available. We provide a complementary snack during your child’s movie screening and we offer the option to pre-order lunch for your child while they are with us.
