The Animation Course

The Animation Course is run by Chad Stewart, a highly experienced instructor who runs this animation camp for kids. He has worked as a professional animator for almost 30 years and was part of the team behind Emperor's New Groove, Tarzan, Polar Express, and more.

The Animation Course is designed for kids ages 11 to 18 years old. You can choose from three camp formats. In live classes, students join via Adobe Connect and interact through the mic and chatbox. Chad reviews and grades the class project and gives feedback.

Your child can choose recorded classes, which they view at their own time within the week. However, they are still required to submit homework on time and can contact Chad for questions at any time.

You can also pay for just the recordings. There is no homework and no access to the teacher. While this is the most affordable, it does not have the camp experience of interacting with the other students or your animation mentor.
