Students who have attended this camp in the past or have taken at least two of our after school workshops can apply for the advanced camp if they choose.

APPLY FOR THE ADVANCED CAMP CAMP
Our Advanced Camp is a THREE WEEK WORKSHOP where students 12-17, produce a film through all 3 phases of
pre-production, production and post-production, all under the guidance of our experienced award winning mentors. When applying for this camp, students can choose what areas of interest most excites them.
While similar Programs throughout the country can cost thousands of dollars, YFA's Award Winning Summer Workshop is absolutely free to all who are accepted into the program.
Our "No Filmmaker Left Behind" initiative eliminates the socioeconomic barrier that prevent some from taking part. We believe that art is for everyone regardless of their income and no child should be excluded simply because of the price-tag.
Our program is one hundred percent funded through grants, sponsorships and private donors so that the only thing we require is your passion! This is a tuition free camp that runs from July 7 - 25 at our Ohio City Studio at 2814 Detroit Ave, Cleveland, OH 44113 | Cost: FREE | * Acceptance not guaranteed.
