From March 24–28, campers will dive into the world of storytelling and special effects, discovering how science and creativity come together to make movie magic.

Campers will experiment with stop-motion animation, zoetropes, and shadow puppets to create captivating stories. They’ll also learn the secrets behind practical special effects, bringing their imaginations to life.

Designed for kids aged 6–12, this engaging camp offers the perfect mix of science, art, and fun! Whether your camper dreams of becoming a filmmaker or just loves a great story, Cinema Science is an unforgettable adventure into the world of movie-making.
