Camp xi 2020 recap

What's Going On!

Covid-19 caused us to take our Camp XI virtual this year. Over the 2 weeks of the camp, our kids met daily using tablets we provided, and through our camp director, teacher and guest(s) they learned how to: Storyboard, Script, and Pitch a short film.

The theme for this year's camp was an ode to Marvin Gaye's song "What's Going On!" With racial tensions at an all time high the kids developed 4 short films on the current state of America from their eyes. Take a few moments and enjoy the short films from our Camp XI 2020 kids.
