Turn screen time into outdoor time
A 2-week program designed for 10 - 14 year olds
July 22 - August 1, 2024
9 AM - 3 PM
Los Angeles River Center and Gardens
As Bewilder Earth Explorers (BEEs), students learn to research, film, and edit their own mini nature documentaries. They'll work with professional videographers and editors to develop teamwork, communication, and lifelong storytelling skills. BEEs blend fun and film to spark awareness about our natural environment.
July 22 - August 1 · Play & prep
BEEs are equipped with mobile cameras and editing equipment from day one. They'll play indoor and outdoor games to learn about local flora and fauna, and participate in hands-on workshops to practice filmmaking techniques.
July 23 & 30 · Field days
Once a week, BEEs will spend a day at a local park to turn their cinematic ideas into reality. They'll practice patience and resilience in nature as they navigate the benefits and challenges of filming outside.
June 27 · BEE film festival
Come watch your BEE's finished nature doc by joining them on the purple carpet at our BEE Film Festival on August 1st from 6-8pm at the Los Angeles River Center & Gardens. Invite your friends and family to celebrate the joys of being outside!
