Montgomery Bell Academy: Stop Motion Movie Camp

This is a one-week afternoon camp on the Montgomery Bell Academy campus where kids ages 7 to 14 learn the art of stop-motion filmmaking using LEGO bricks. Part of MBA's Camp Brick program, it walks campers through the full creative process: writing scripts, building and dressing LEGO sets, animating scenes frame by frame, and editing the final footage into a finished film. Those finished films get published to a YouTube showcase, giving kids something real to share with family when the week wraps up. The afternoon schedule runs 1:00 to 4:00 PM, which makes it easy to pair with a morning activity elsewhere. The camp runs one week only — July 20 through 24, 2026 — and costs $260. It's a good fit for creative kids who enjoy both hands-on building and storytelling, since the work spans scriptwriting, set building, and digital editing rather than sticking to a single medium. Families also explore Montgomery Bell Academy: Cardboard Land, Overbrook: ARTrageous Week, and Harpeth Hall: Artist's Choice for similar hands-on art and creative options nearby.
