As it has done in some previous years, Apple is again offering free summer camps for kids at its retail stores, focusing on filmmaking using iMovie. Each session of the camp, which is targeted at children ages 8-12, includes two 90-minute weekday workshops where students will learn about filmmaking and then create their films in iMovie using footage shot themselves. The session concludes with an optional Saturday morning film festival in which participants can screen their films for friends and family.
At Apple Camp, kids ages 8-12 learn how to shoot their own footage, create an original song in GarageBand on an iPad, and put it all together in iMovie on a Mac. This free workshop, held at Apple Retail Stores, spans three days and ends with campers debuting their masterpieces at the Apple Camp Film Festival. Space is limited and workshops fill up quickly, so sign up now for a super-creative adventure.
The first camp groups begin on July 23, with stores offering as many as 12 separate groups between then and late August to help meet demand. Camps groups are, however, already filling up at some locations, and those interested in participating should move quickly to secure spots at the locations of their choice.
Signups are currently available for programs at Apple retail stores in the United Statesand Canada. Apple’s European, Chinese, and Japanses sites indicate that schedules and signups should be coming soon for summer camps, while Australia will see its camps arrive in September.

Apple has today introduced a number of new features to its One to One program, which provides personal and group training to those with Mac and iOS devices. In addition to a redesigned website, the $99 per year subscription service now offers shorter, 30-minute sessions; more tutorial videos; VoiceOver support for the visually impaired, and more.
When you sign up to the One to One program, you not only get training sessions in a local Applestore, but your also get your own One to One web page, where you can make reservations, read tips and tricks, write notes, and view sample projects. This now features a new user interface that boasts VoiceOver support, more tutorial videos, the ability to delete as well as add notes, and more.
In addition to its one-hour sessions, Apple has also introduced 30-minute ones for smaller projects, and it has also decreased the length of its “Personal Projects” sessions — where users can get additional help for special projects — to 90 minutes. These have also be renamed to “Open Training.”
These changes have gone live today, according to Macerkopf.de, so you should be able to take advantage of them immediately if you’re a One to One subscriber.
