Camp Manga Madness

Ages 12-16

9am - 3pm each day

$300

You could spend your summer binging My Hero Academia, Sailor Moon, or Attack on Titan by yourself, OR you could join Pop Culture Classroom for our Manga Madness Summer Camp! You'll be reading manga, watching anime, and learning from professional artists how to create stories of your own. In addition to consuming and analyzing content, you will receive manga-specific drawing instruction each day! By the end of the week, students will have created their very own finished manga. Along the way, you'll learn about and get the chance to use the same tools as real-life comic creators, including tablets, digital drawing software, and high-quality art materials for your final comic. Students do not need to have any experience in art, manga, or anime to join!
