That's a wrap with the Selkirk Youth Film Camp for 2026! We hade 35 films with kids aged 8-18 over a 4 week period. This the team that made it happen. The 6 of us worked with roughly 80 kids and helped them take their ideas and turn them into short films. Thanks for another successful season everyone ✨️🎬

🎬 SELKIRK FILM CAMP IS BACK THIS JULY! 🎬

We’re excited to announce that the Selkirk Film Camp is returning for THREE different week-long camps this summer — and this year, Colin is stepping into the role of coordinator after several years as lead instructor!

This is a hands-on filmmaking experience where kids get to actually MAKE movies using professional camera gear, lights, microphones, editing software, and more.

🎥 Kids can: ✨ Bring their own movie ideas ✨ Join another crew and collaborate ✨ Learn acting, filming, directing, editing, sound, and storytelling ✨ Work with real filmmaking equipment ✨ Gain confidence and creative skills ✨ Have their finished films screened on Friday for friends & family!

At the end of each week, we celebrate with a movie screening and certificate presentation for every participant.

No experience necessary — just creativity, curiosity, and a willingness to have fun!

📅 3 separate camps running this July
💲 $375 for the week

Spots fill quickly every year, so keep an eye out for registration details!

The 2026 Lip Sync Battle hosted by .mvmt was absolutely electric! Congrats for taking home the prize and bragging rights for her Lady Gaga performance and tie breaker. Nelson is a hot bed for talent.
