FALL YOUTH & TEEN: Reel Adventures (Grades 6 - 8)
In this action-packed weekend program, students in Grades 6–8 will join forces to create an original short film while mastering the art of collaborative visual storytelling. Through fun, exploratory filmmaking field trips, they’ll sharpen skills like creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork that extend far beyond the screen. The program wraps with special invitations to a red-carpet-style December screening event where the final projects will premiere for friends, family, and fans. All equipment, resources and snacks are provided by The Umbrella.
