Presented in partnership with Nightwine Productions, we spend a week filming during the camp experience, often in hidden, behind-the-scenes spots in the Museum. This year's movie is "The McKinley Project." After an AI data center under the Monument becomes sentient, the team needs to stop it from taking over the world.  After Movie Camp ends, Nightwine Productions works on editing and special effects throughout the fall. Our movie’s World Premiere takes place in December. Family and friends are invited to the premiere, and there is no additional charge.
