Thanks to the continued support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation, SAW Video’s Video Camp for Girls+ will provide an opportunity for training in basic video production and video editing for participants aged 13-17. The camp will take place in conjunction with our community partners Girls+ Skate 613 who provide a safe space for aspiring skateboarders to learn how to skate. Under the direction of female instructors and mentors who are professionals in the audio/visual production field, participants will have the opportunity to conceive, shoot, direct, and edit, short videos about skateboarding.
Like skateboarding culture, film and video-making often tend to be male-dominated fields. This program seeks to encourage young women, girls, femme-identified and non-binary youth, to learn about video and to consider it as a potential career choice. Additionally, this program seeks to remove socio-economic barriers to training for young women in the technical fields of video production and to that end, the program will be offered for free and will only involve a small registration charge for each participant.
Limited space available - Maximum 12 participants / Ages 13-17 / Registration Fee: $25

Drop off at the Charlie Bowens Skateboard Park will be in the parking lot at the McNabb Recreation Centre. Food will be provided at the orientation, but participants should bring their own lunches or meals for the rest of the program. SAW Video will also provide snacks and drinks at each session.
Although registration is open for all young women, girls, femme-identified and non-binary youth we encourage youth from diverse or marginalized backgrounds to apply, particularly POC, Indigenous, queer, low-income and or newcomer & immigrant youth.
