Kootenay Co-operative Radio is excited to offer the fourth annual Summer Youth Radio Camp!
If you’re between the ages of 9 and 12 and want to share your views and music on-air, we want you for Radio Camp! There are three week-long sessions that run on July 25 to 29, August 15 to 19, and August 22 to 26. We’ve also drastically reduced the price from $200 to 250 to $125 for co-op members and $150 for non-members.
Campers will hang out at the station and receive fun, hands-on activities that teach them about the wonderful world of community radio, as well as how to produce a high-quality radio show! Join us for a truly unique camp experience this summer. KCR’s Radio Camp is the only camp in Nelson that teaches kids how to be real live radio stars!
At the end of each week, campers will work together to produce an hour-long show, making radio history, and showcasing all of their new talents as radio broadcasters. This show will be planned by the campers and may feature interviews and segments, campers’ music selections, a radio play, pre-recorded announcements, sponsorships, interviews, and spoken word pieces, and much, much more! And all of it can be heard over the airwaves of KCR! Made possible by a Service Canada Summer Jobs grant.
At the end of the camp you will receive a certificate of completion, and a CD with the broadcast on it so you can relive the fun and excitement over and over again! And, on the final day of Radio Camp campers will have a pizza party!
