2012 Summer Camp Film Festival

Videos are a fun and easy way to generate excitement for your summer camp. They are easy to share, fun to watch, and create a buzz amongst your campers that is hard to match! Ultimate Camp Resource is proud to host the 2nd Annual Summer Camp Film Festival to showcase your creativity and your camp program. We are excited to partner with Summergy Media, the camp industry's leading production company specializing in promotional videos for summer camps.

Camp folks are invited to create and submit a summer camp video related to the theme of "Retention" - videos designed to get current campers and families excited about returning to camp. Some sample themes (and a couple sample videos) include: "See What's New," "See Who's Back," Short Films, Movie Trailers, and other creative ideas. Films will be judged as follows: 50% Overall Effectiveness, 25% Technical Quality, 25% # pageviews.
