Class Description:

Once upon a time, there was a magical camp in a far away land called Seattle Center. Campers learned about the kinds of characters we find in fairytales, how to tell these time-honored stories, and how to create some of their own to add to the canon! Co-lead by an experienced SCT teaching artist and SIFF Filmmaking instructor, this half-day, week-long camp experience will invite students ages 6-8 to create unforgettable fairytales - both in front of and behind the camera! The week will culminate in a film festival at the SIFF Film Center on Friday afternoon at 3pm where friends and family will be invited to enjoy their camper’s work.
