Idea Box Integrated Arts

Collaborate. Create. Connect.

Idea Box Integrated Arts provides residencies which blend art-making and performance to give students a forum for expressing their own artistic vision.

Performance Arts

When the art and the artist are one and the same.


Still accepting registration for Summer 2026:


Media Arts

crosses over with our Oddball Arts series because it’s part digital, part analog, and the balance between the two is up to the individual artist.

Students in this camp are invited to express their personal worldview by:

  • Creating a zine

  • Outlining a comic strip or political cartoon

  • Creating a short animatic or sketch comedy video

  • Recording a vlog or blog

  • Presenting a multi-media exploration of their artistic point of view.

Students are encouraged to create work that is silly, serious, bizarre, or beautiful— whatever they want the world to see!

This camp ends with a multi-media experience for family and friends during the last hour of camp on Friday.

Green Screen Skills

is a beginning/intermediate video recording & editing camp.

No previous video recording or editing experience is required. Advanced projects will be available for campers with previous green screen editing experience.

Campers will learn to

  • Light and stage green screens for clean editing

  • Remove and replace backgrounds in Davinci Resolve

  • Move and manipulate the extracted video

  • Add special FX and overlays

  • Layer multiple green screen videos

This camp ends with a Short Film Festival during the last hour of camp on Friday.

NOTE: This camp requires campers to bring a laptop with Davinci Resolve installed*. We selected this software because it’s free, reliable, user-friendly, and resembles the interface of most professional editing programs.

Campers may choose to bring their own recording device (ie. phone or tablet), but it is not required.

*if your camper doesn’t have a laptop available for camp use, contact us to request a device loan for camp.

Dice Boss
Dungeon Master Camp

is a week of character creation, dungeon design, and understanding the mechanics that create an awesome experience for your players. Campers will learn to:

  • Create a world for their players to inhabit

  • Devise challenges that are at the right level for players

  • Improvise smoothly when players make unexpected choices

  • Create unique and specific non-player-characters for encounters

  • Bring their ideas to life with storytelling and mood-setting lighting, soundtracks, and even scents, snacks, and textures to make game play a “5-D” sensory experience.

This class culminates in a staged campaign (in the style of Critical Role) performed for a “live student audience” of family and friends. The performance will be held during the last hour of camp on Friday, and will be followed by a short reception celebrating the campers and their work.

Camp Cosplay

Brings together costume design, prop construction and character performance. Campers are invited to bring an in-progress cosplay or start work on one in camp. This camp focuses on working with common materials, tools, and techniques used in cosplay construction, including:

  • EVA (craft) foam sculpting and patterning techniques

  • Fabric identification and selection

  • Adapting character designs to your own style and proportions

  • Cosplay comfort— wearable layers that can be managed by the designer alone.

  • Cosplay character performance— moving in cosplay, stage contest skills, and posing for photos.

This camp ends with a staged “costume contest” for the entertainment of family and friends with peer-selected awards for all campers. The event will be held during the last hour of camp on Friday, and will be followed by a brief reception celebrating the desigbner/performers.
