Welcome to your movie-making adventure at Animation Camp!

Animation Camp is the exciting intersection between storytelling, art and technology! Over three days, your child will create two movies from scratch using stop-motion animation. Stop-motion is the process of taking multiple images of objects and stitching them together to look like they’re moving - it’s an incredibly fun and creative way to tell a story!

Action-Packed Days

Check-In

Our friendly and experienced staff will be waiting to greet you at camp. Look out for our Camp Manager in an orange Code Camp t-shirt, they’re also a qualified teacher and first aid trained. Once you’ve signed in your child, it’s time to say goodbye to let your kids make new friends and then embark on their creative adventure!

You can drop off between 9:00 and 9:30 am, and pick-up between 3:30 and 3:45pm. Extended hours are available at certain locations.

Day One

Produce a Claymation movie!
We will spend some time brainstorming a storyboard concept for your child's first movie then move onto set design and creating our characters.

Then we teach stop motion basic techniques, taking lots of still photos before stitching them together to make a Claymation film, just like Wallace and Gromit & Chicken Run.

To finish our Claymation films we add voice overs, intros & outros, credits and special effects!

Day Two

Make your own LEGO movie!
On day two, kids will learn how to make their own LEGO movie as they’re introduced to Brickfilm animation.

We create a new storyboard, design a fresh set and learn green screen techniques, then move on to taking photos of our LEGO adventures.

To produce our Brickfilms, we edit the animations and add titles, credits, music, voice overs and more!

Day Three

Get ready to unleash your inner Spielberg!
For our final day of camp we will jump into a new type of advanced animation – Drawing Animation.

We dive into flipping, anticipation, exaggeration and facial animation. Kids will explore other animation styles, using a second app to make a cool Rotoscope video (combining live footage with drawing animation).

Then we finish camp with a movie showcase and medal ceremony to celebrate our creative achievements and share the movies with parents for a showcase at home!
