Camp's almost over! Don't give an empty promise to write us, actually follow through by dramatizing a real experience from your formative years in a 60-second script.

"Dear Diary, Camp's been a blast! I've tried all sorts of new things and made a ton of new friends. Sure, the mosquitos are a pain and I wouldn't recommend the mystery meat, but I'll never forget how to tie a square knot or roast a hot dog with a sturdy twig..."

For the past several weeks, Tongal has been hosting a virtual Creative Camp for all our community members and everyone is invited to join in on the fun! Each of our 6 Creative Camp-themed projects are designed to fire up your imagination, push your creative boundaries, and build life-long friendships between you and your fellow campers.

• Challenge #2: The Great Outdoors
• Challenge #3: Scary Stories
• Challenge #4: Snack Break
• Challenge #5: Camp Director Pitch

• You are highly encouraged to participate in ALL challenges (and if you do, you’ll be eligible for special prizes!), although you’re also perfectly welcome to only participate in the challenges that most interest you

The goal of this project is to tell a true (or “true”) story from your years growing up in a Script for a :60 video. We all have experiences from our childhood that helped shape us into the person we are today and how we think about the world. Pick one moment in your life to dramatize in a Script. Change names to protect the innocent if you need to, but your Script should feel authentic and capture that raw feeling of learning to make your way in the world as a child or adolescent. 

Creators from all backgrounds and levels of experience are encouraged to participate. Never written a script before? Now’s a fine time to learn!

--Target Audience: Just us Tongalers!

--Exposure: Tongal website and social channels. Winning Scripts may be developed into a video in a future project.
