CAMP,

trying to decide what we would do, and
we kind of threw out all sorts of ideas,”
Cain said.
Cain and Barrie both teach language
arts at Whiteaker Middle School, how-
ever Cain also teaches a fi lm litera-
ture class. The two knew they wanted
to do a fi lm class but only landed on
stop motion once it was suggested by
Barrie. From there, things started to
take action.
Everyday the class would begin with
a warm-up which would include some
type of game or icebreaker to get the
kids involved.
“It’s just important that their having
fun and feeling good about being here
and being together,” Cain said.
Some parents of the campers
reached out to Cain and Barrie about
how happy and excited their kids were
about the program.
“One parent said that their child felt
like they lost their creativity but the
camp brought it back to them,” Barrie
said.
Both instructors found it rewarding
to watch the campers having social
interactions again and enjoyed being
able to see the smile on their faces.
After warm-ups, the campers would
then watch a video example of their
assignment for the day. On Wednesday,
July 21, the campers were assigned to
make an advertisement about a food
brand. A desk alongside the edge of the
class had multiple brown paper bags
with question marks on them. The kids
would pick a bag at random and work
with what was in the bag.
Campers rushed to their stations and
began gathering additional materials
to make their vision a reality. Many of
the kids were able to fi nish their video
the same day that is was assigned and
enjoyed watching each other’s fi nished
projects at the end.
Cain and Barrie both hope to be able

to do the camp again in the future if
given the opportunity.
“Hopefully we will be able to get
more bodies in and then just think of
ways that we could make it bigger and
better,” Cain said.
