Teen Summer Camps
Calling all creative teens (rising 10th–12th graders)! Spend a week at the Frist during one of our immersive, hands-on camps exploring filmmaking and fashion design. Learn from talented instructors, build new skills, and create original projects from concept to completion in just one week.
Fashion Camp (July 6–10, 2026): Explore the art of fashion through textile identification, draping, patternmaking, sketching, and introductory sewing and upcycling techniques. Participants will design and create an original sustainable fashion line while examining connections between fashion, architecture, and art. Learn more and register!
Film Camp (July 13–17, 2026): Offered in partnership with the Nashville Film Festival, teens will collaborate in small production teams to create an original short film from concept to premiere. Participants will develop a script and production plan, film using professional equipment, and craft a polished final edit. Learn more and register!
Participants are invited to present their final projects at the annual Teens Take the Frist! event on Saturday, July 18, 2026.
