Comic Book Summer Camp 2025
Welcome to Kids Make Comics, a week-long summer camp where kids aged eight to eleven can learn all the steps to make their own comic book. From creating an exciting story with a beginning, middle and end, to dynamically depicting their ideas on the comic book page through the art of drawing, coloring, and lettering, we've got it covered. Our experienced instructors will help your child unleash their creativity and guide them through the process of making their very own comic book.
Storytelling
A great comic book needs a great story, and our instructors will help your child develop their storytelling skills. Campers will learn how to create compelling characters, build tension and conflict, and structure their story for maximum impact. They'll also learn how to write dialogue that is natural and engaging, bringing their characters to life on the page. By the end of the week, your child will have learned all the fundamentals of writing a fully developed story ready to be brought to life on the comic book page.
Drawing and Sketching
At Kids Make Comics, we believe that every child has an inner artist waiting to be unleashed. Our instructors will teach your child the fundamentals of drawing and sketching, from basic shapes and forms to perspective and shading. They'll learn how to bring their characters to life on the page and hone their skills with plenty of hands-on practice.
Inking and Coloring
Once your child has completed their sketches, it's time to add detail and color to their comic book pages. Our instructors will teach them the techniques of inking and coloring, including how to use different materials and tools to achieve varying effects. By the end of the week, your child will have a fully inked and colored four-page comic book to be proud of.
Lettering
The final touch to any great comic book is the lettering. Our instructors will teach your child the basics of lettering, including basic comic book lettering rules, different lettering styles, and techniques for creating speech bubbles and sound effects.
