DUE TO A NUMBER OF ISSUES, THE FILM CAMP IS POSTPONED UNTIL 2024
We’ve had 18 inches of rain, snowmelt is pouring into the Kern River, raging torrents have, and continue to, damage roads up into the Kern Valley, and our Organizer’s Big Foot was run over in the Von’s parking lot. Stuff happens; but we’re flexible. Stay tuned e for new information on next year’s camp.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Many of you have fond memories of those idyllic summer days at camp --and the summer nights sharing tall tales around that communal fire. We’re bringing that back, but we’re doing it a little different.
Nestled amongst the pine forest in the Southern Sierras, just above the Kern river valley, is a century-old summer camp. Cabins, bunk beds, a mess hall and perhaps rabid woodchucks and the ghostly ethereal singing of bygone Campfire Girls set the scene.
If you’ve ever thought: “I’d like to try my hand at making a movie someday” —
