WSU 4-H teens attend film camp
A half-dozen teens ventured to Whidbey Island and participated in The WSU Extension’s 4-H Teen Film Camp, where they enjoyed a hands-on opportunity of creating a film from scratch.
“We wanted teens to experience this art form and to provide an opportunity to make a movie from beginning to end,” said Ashley Hall, a 4-H associate professor with Island County Extension said in a news release from the College of Agriculture, Human, and Natural Resources at Washington State University. “Like all 4-H programs, it’s about engaging teens in their areas of interest and giving them access to successful mentors in that medium. But instead of activities like horses or food preservation, this was about filmmaking.”
