Each group will be up to 12 youth ages 11-14 for the weeks and themes indicated below:
- July 11-15 – Podcasting & Radio 101 – campers will learn the in’s and out’s of writing, recording, and broadcasting a podcast for distribution on air or online. Campers will go from scriptwriting to recording a podcast in the short period about a topic of their choice.
- July 25-29 – Radio Play 101 – campers will learn the in’s and out’s of writing, recording, and broadcasting a radio play for distribution on air or online. A radio play is all about storytelling and acting all done through audio – sound effects, recorded dialogue, background noise, and more.
