This year, the camp filmed a television program intended to get people excited about physical activity and adventures in the great outdoors.

“We put together a project where local children have gone out [and] found adventures and we packaged that in a TV show that can show some of the best parts of Edmonton to the families that live in town,” Klein said.

The show will be televised on Global Edmonton this spring.

A special screening of the program was held Saturday morning at the Garneau Theatre.

“Several of the kids that are here today are going to see themselves up on the big screen,” Klein said.

“It’s going to be exciting. They’ve dedicated their time to putting the TV show together and their parents get to celebrate that as well.”

The program was a pilot project, but work has begun to release more episodes with an eye towards making it a weekly adventure show.
