River’s Edge 2 + Narrative Filmmaking

About

Morning sessions are centered around narrative filmmaking. Working in small groups, campers move through the stages of pre-production, production, and post-production to create 3-minute short films on a topic of their choice. Campers gain practical skills and introductory knowledge of technologies that can be applied to future filmmaking projects. Plus, each camper receives a credit on their film – a great first step in creating their own portfolio! Campers spend the afternoons with River’s Edge, enjoying a week of bonding with other campers while kayaking, discovering the Russian River’s unique ecology, and developing leadership skills. River’s Edge Kayak and Canoe has been launching families in kayaks, canoes, and on paddleboards for over 50 years. Please Note: Children must be able to swim independently, even though all campers will wear life jackets. Camp includes all kayak equipment including paddles, a life jacket, dry bag, sunglasses straps and a cooler for snacks if needed.

Each morning, campers learn to create digital art with powerful tools that allow them to design characters, creatures, and backgrounds inspired by games and cartoons. Using layers, timing, and frame-by-frame techniques, they develop stories with digital media and build confidence in the tools of visual storytelling. Afternoon sessions are centered around mockumentary filmmaking. Working in small groups, campers move through the stages of pre-production, production, and post-production to create 3-minute short films on a topic of their choice.
