Selkirk College is celebrating 20 years of its Summer Film Camp, a long-running program that connects youth in the community through hands-on creative education.
Founded in 2007 by program graduates Amy Bohigian and Carla Sinclair, the camp has engaged hundreds of participants aged eight to 18 in creating short films from start to finish, offering professional-level experience in storytelling and production.
Many alumni have gone on to pursue film studies and careers, with some returning as instructors. The program also employs students from Selkirk College’s Digital Arts and Technology program each summer.
“This is a great opportunity to support artistic outlets for youth in our community, at a time when many college and art programs are struggling.”
Four one-week camps are scheduled:
- Film Production Camp, ages 14-18, July 6-10
- Big Screen Dreams, ages 11-13, July 13-17
- Big Screen Dreams, ages eight to 10, July 20-24
- Big Screen Dreams, ages eight to 13, July 27-31
