CJSF Radio Kids’ Camp

This August, CJSF 90.1 FM’s Radio Kids Camp will once again introduce young people to the wonderful world of radio! At the Radio Kids Camp, participants will have the opportunity to produce their own show and learn about all aspects of creating community radio – all while enjoying familiar summer camp activities. This year the camp’s theme is “community”. Through this theme participants will learn the importance of building, supporting and maintaining sustainable communities. This will include learning the value of building community across diverse groups of people, and the importance of solidarity and mutual support – and of course, learning how community radio can help make this happen! This year’s camp activities will include workshops on sound recording and editing, radio DJing, interviewing, and audio production for podcasts and community radio. The camp will also feature games, a tour of the community groups at the SFU Burnaby campus, field trips to local cultural venues, and a visit to the CBC! At the end of the week, Radio Kids Camp participants will create their own live radio program on CJSF, playing music that they choose and broadcasting the stories that they have created during the week. Available to kids aged 8 to 12 years, the camp will run from 9am to 4pm during the week of Aug. 12-16 and then again during the week of Aug. 19-23, at a cost of $200 per participant, including service and processing fees. There are a limited number of spots available for the Radio Kids Camp, so please register as soon as possible!
