UPDATED: 6/15/2026 Apple Camp is back from June 16 to August 3rd, offering free, hands-on creative workshops for kids and families at Apple Stores across Charlotte and North Carolina.
Part of the Today at Apple program, these summer sessions are designed for kids ages 6–12 and encourage families to learn and create together. This year’s featured camp invites children and their parents or guardians to step into the world of moviemaking—using iMovie on iPad to produce short films from start to finish.
In addition to filmmaking, Apple Camp locations throughout North Carolina—including Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, and Greensboro—are offering a variety of workshops covering coding, storytelling, emoji design, music production, and more. All equipment is provided, and each class is led by Apple’s in-store Creative Pros.
⚠️ Space is limited and registration fills fast, so be sure to sign up early.
