Teens and Grandparents

Digital Storytelling Camp for Grandparents & Kids: This week-long program teaches campers ages 10 to 15 and a grandparent or older adult how to produce, edit and upload a three to five-minute family story using a flip camera. The new camp is a natural outgrowth of the popular Discover the World of Communication summer program that draws more than 500 students from across the country. Discover students learn skills that range from backpack journalism to photography and animation.
