FRESHiFILM CAMP began in 1994 as a significant sidebar of the International Family Film Festival (IFFF). In the past thirteen years it has grown into its own film camp serving kids 8-18 years of age.

The Film Camp program is a week-long immersion in digital filmmaking where kids learn skills, meet professionals in the industry and work as a collective to make their own film.

Highly skilled professionals from every aspect of filmmaking inform these young filmmakers in the latest techniques and technologies available for the art of making film.

There are three sessions during July, 2009. Campers may sign up for one or more of the sessions. Applications are accepted on a first come, first served basis. The fees are all inclusive covering lunch, supplies and equipment.
