The New York International Children's Film Festival, which has a year-round presence through screenings and other events, is currently accepting applications for their third annual Film Production Workshops. Course tracks include claymation, film acting, 2-D animation, and puppet animation and kids age six to sixteen can participate and receive mentoring from working professionals in the respective fields. Films from the first session of courses, held in mid-February, will screen at the festival later next year. For more information see the fest's website. I haven't checked the price, which may be steep, but having conducted animation sessions at the Museum of the Moving Image and more recently done the cinematography merit badge with my local Boy Scout troop's Blazer patrol (i.e. the eleven-year-olds) I can testify that kids this age love this thing, and, who knows, you may just be nurturing the talent of the next Orson Welles.
