Environmental Video Camp for Youth
Summer Address:
Youth Camera Action! is an environmental
video production program specifically designed for youth between the ages
of 13 – 18 years. This action packed two-week summer program is open to
youth across the Greater Toronto Area and provides a unique and creative
opportunity to learn about the environment, get practical, hands-on
video-making experience and create their own short environmental video
projects in all genres.
Completed projects premiere as part of the Green Sprouts Youth Filmmakers Showcase at the Planet in Focus International Environmental Film & Video Festival each fall. YCA films have also gone on to enjoy screenings at other youth film festivals throughout North America and have been
broadcast on national television!

Week One: Participants will divide into small groups and through a series
of challenging workshops and demonstrations will acquire fundamental
video-making skills (concept development, camera, sound, lighting).
Students will learn about the environment and explore ways of creatively
and visually expressing environmental ideas and issues. They will complete
the week by shooting their videos around the city (with proper
supervision).
Week Two: Post production - editing, special effects and sound design! We
will finish the week by having a "premiere" of the works, which will
screen on Friday afternoon at Innis Town Hall. Family and friends welcome.
