Lake Champion
Project Description:
One day during the summer, I was super bored, so I decided to make a video about my week at YoungLife camp in Lake Champion, New York. I went with a bunch of other middle schoolers, and we had the best time! Since we weren’t allowed to use our phones at camp, I asked the YoungLife leaders if I could use their photos for the video (they said yes!). I used CapCut to add some cool music and edit everything together. It was so much fun to make and a great way to remember all the awesome memories from camp!
