Spring Break Filmmaking STEAM Camp

The Indie Filmmaking Experience

March 16–20, 2026 | Monday–Friday | 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Tuition: $499

Join us for an unforgettable Spring Break immersed in the world of independent filmmaking — where creativity, collaboration, and cutting-edge technology come together through the power of STEAM learning. “Indie” is the industry term for independent filmmakers, and this camp introduces students to the heart of that process in a fun, hands-on environment.

Throughout the week, campers work with industry mentors as they develop an original story, plan their production, and experience the excitement of being on set with professional gear.

Every step of the process connects directly to STEAM:

S — Story & Systems: narrative design, communication, team planning
T — Technology: cameras, audio tools, lighting, and digital workflows
E — Engineering: shot design, problem-solving, production logistics
A — Art: acting, visual style, creative decision-making
M — Math & Logic: timing, sequencing, continuity, cause-and-effect

By the end of the week, campers will have created a complete short film. After camp, our professional editors take over to finalize the project, and families are invited back for a studio screening, date TBA
