WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Light the Way Foundation is offering an exciting opportunity for students ages 9 to 12 to explore the world of filmmaking through its 2025 Film Summer Camp. Full scholarships are now available for 20 students from the D.C., Maryland and Virginia regions to attend the program at no cost.
Charles County students are encouraged to apply for this unique experience. The camp will take place June 23-27 on the campus of Howard University, located at 2400 Sixth Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20059. Sessions will run daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and participants will receive breakfast and lunch each day, along with access to all necessary film equipment and materials.
