Social Movie making - REEL YOUTH
Join Reel Youth for an incredible 7 day film making camp
at Channel Rock on Cortes Island, BC - July 10-16, 2011
Develop your film making skills, record music, have fun, and produce media addressing some of the most pressing social and environmental issues of our time.
Re:invent::SocialMedia camp will be held on Cortes Island, BC, at Channel Rock, an oceanfront retreat center. [map] Reel Youth offers bus transportation between Nanaimo Departure Bay ferry terminal and Cortes Island.
How much does it cost?
The program fee is $350 and includes: transportation to and from the camp (between Nanaimo and Cortes Island), platform tent accommodation, meals (including dinner on arrival day and a packed lunch on departure day) equipment and all other program-related costs.
Partial scholarships are available for some youth who would not otherwise be able to attend the camp. Scholarships will be awarded based on financial need.
Reel Youth offers this program at a fraction of its actual cost. Even at our discounted program fee of $350, there will be those for whom the cost will be a barrier. If would like to donate to our scholarship fund, all funds raised will be used to provide financial assistance to youth that might otherwise not be able to attend our programs. All donations to Reel Youth are tax-deductible.
