Summer Camps

Registration opens January 10, 2025!

Our summer intensive day camps provide emerging young artists with the opportunity to choose from two dynamic experiences: making short films in Filmmaking Camp, or bringing their wildest ideas to life in Animation Camp. We keep classes small, ensuring personal attention in a nurturing and supportive learning environment with tight-knit group collaboration. This summer, we will be offering two-week sessions which will culminate in a screening where campers will premiere their work on the big screen for family and friends at the JBFC Theater. 

Scholarships are available for participants with financial need.
