Young Filmmakers Workshop at Messiah University

The dates for the 2026 Young Filmmakers' Workshop will be announced in November 2025.  This program offers commuter and residential options. Registration is open to students entering 10th - 12th grade in the Fall 2026.

Messiah University’s annual Young Filmmakers Workshop is a unique summer program held on the scenic, suburban campus of Messiah University, located just 12 miles from Harrisburg, PA.

The Young Filmmakers Workshop will have residential and commuter options.

Through this enriching, summer filmmaking camp environment our students improve and learn new skills as filmmakers and make great friends with people that share their same passion.

This workshop is designed to foster a community of young filmmakers through an enriching summer camp environment.  It will also provide college-level filmmaking skills for students in grades 10 - 12 and taught by industry professionals and experienced Messiah University faculty.  Students will discuss and practice storyboarding, shot construction and hands-on camera training.  This workshop has limited space in order to provide you with personalized attention.
