About this Event
Have a story to tell and a love for animation? This camp is your creative playground! Youth are invited to dive into the world of stop-motion animated storytelling, and learn animation techniques through intuitive hands-on activities. Whether you're dreaming up fantasy worlds, creating a slice-of-life story, or experimenting with abstract visuals, you'll put your imagination into motion and leave with a short-animated film that’s all your own.
Artworks created during these workshops will be featured in a public exhibition at Esker Foundation’s Bridge Space, giving you a chance to share your story with the world!

BRIDGE SPACE
A space dedicated to young people.
Launched in 2021, Bridge is for the young members of our community. It is a space to make visible the incredible work created by children and youth in programs, for youth-led curation, and a space to be claimed by young people for expressions yet to be imagined.
