Midpen Media Makers Summer Institute

The Midpen Media Center is now offering in-person summer camp experiences! With masks required and social distancing enforced, Midpen Media is preparing to welcome limited numbers of youth creators back into our studio for a summer daycamp media-making experience.

From TikTok to Podcasts to Television, this 2-week summer camp experience provides an all-encompassing hands-on approach to media-making using modern tools and technology. Join our instructors Emily and Pedro on an educational journey through media production in every form. As our students drive the creative process, they’ll have the chance to:

• Produce or star in a professional studio television show
• Write and record a podcast
• Create a short documentary
• Present a final video project to be screened for families and shown on local television
• Master the art of light design and sound design
• Acquire professional media skills that will stand out on college and job applications

This deeply valuable creative playspace will conclude with a family-and-friends awards ceremony and official screening of student final projects. As our students work to produce a high-quality video production, creative energy will be their greatest tool for this summer camp experience!

Session Dates:

June 21 - July 2nd, Monday Through Friday

9:30AM - 3:30PM
