Accredited by Stanford University, DMA is "The Summer Digital Art and Technology Camp for Kids and Teens!" DMA is ideal for students of all ages wanting exposure to the most relevant software used in Hollywood and the entertainment industry, video game design, and web design while gaining hands-on experience under the eye of accomplished professionals. Whether to explore a possible career path, gain practical skills or just have an incredible time with friends, DMA is unparalleled.

Why kids, teens, and their parents are choosing DMA:

  • Stanford University accreditation for all teen courses
  • Balanced experience for kids including outdoor activites
  • Accomplished instructors
  • Hands-on, project-based approach using industry-standard, professional software tools
  • Pre-college experience at campus locations such as Stanford, Harvard, UCLA, UC San Diego, U of British Columbia – 11 locations in the US and Canada
  • Evening and weekend activities for kids and teens living on campus

COURSES

DMA offers day and overnight courses in weekly and multi-week sessions for youth, age 6-18. DMA courses accommodate a wide variety of digital media interests in a more sophisticated learning environment than other summer computer camps. All courses are project based and taught by accomplished professionals who have a passion for inspiring young minds. An average student to instructor ratio of 6 to 1 allows for plenty of individual attention as students explore, create and immerse themselves in an environment that is more like a production studio than a classroom.

THE TEEN EXPERIENCE

DMA’s teen courses for 2010 include Robotics, Digital Filmmaking, 3D Animation, Web Production, Programming, and Music and Video Production - just to name a few.

Teens may commute or stay on campus in university housing. Separate DMA couselor staff live in the dorm coordinating evening and weekend activities while ensuring a fun and safe experience for everyone. Teens living on campus receive breakfast, lunch and dinner in a university dining hall. Commuting students may purchase a dining hall lunch pass or buy their own lunch at one of several restaurants on campus. 

THE YOUTH EXPERIENCE

DMA’s 2010 youth courses (called Digital Media Adventures) include Robotics, Digital Filmmaking, Game Creation, Web Design & Flash, Cartoon & Comic Book Creation and Surfing & Filmmaking. To create a more balanced experience, we incorporate outdoor recreation breaks throughout the day – we beleive, like you, that kids should move! Additional activities, such as sports, board games and weekend adventures are offered to youth in our residential program.
