Pick up todays Free Press (July 27th). Lindsey Wiebe has written a nice article about Radio Camp appearing on the front of the City section of the paper. You can also read the article and see some video with campers and coordinator Matt online here.

The first session’s off! During the past two days, we’ve been busy learning all about radio.

We started off on Monday with seven kids – Amanuel, Kamila, Nam, Phuong, Amy, Harjot, and Rosli. The day began with a scavenger hunt where the kids got to know the station and the people behind it. The kids wrote scripts and chose music to make ads for their shows on Friday. You can check these out on the projects page. (I might have influenced the music a bit…)

On Day two we were joined by three new kids – Bob, William, and Junior. During the morning, Sean Kavanagh from CBC came in, and the kids learned about how to make a news story for radio. They then looked through newspapers and found a story, and adapted this story to use for their show on Friday. We also had a chance to play games, go swimming, and make Station IDs.

Radio Camp is in session!

Check out the Photos page or Projects to see what the campers are up to.

There are only 4 spots remaining for the August 13-17 session.  If you have a child or know of a child who would be interested in “doing” radio for this week, please contact us ASAP!
