88.5 WFDD expands Radio Camp lineup

wfddFor the fifth summer, WFDD is hosting several sessions of Radio Camp, a week-long experiential learning camp for middle-school-aged children interested in technology, writing, journalism and the world of radio. This summer, the station is adding two new offerings to its already-popular camp lineup: Rock Radio Camp and Radio Camp for Grown-Ups.

“Since the launch of Radio Camp in 2010, we’ve received multiple requests for a version of Radio Camp for adults,” said WFDD’s Director of Membership and Education Programs Greg Keener. “The audience asked, and we listened. Why should kids have all the fun?” The Radio Camp for Grown-Ups session scheduled for August 2 and 9 is already sold out with a waiting list, but due to the overwhelming demand, the station has added an additional session that will take place on the mornings of Saturday, May 31, and Saturday, June 7. Radio Camp for Grown-Ups will be taught in part by former NPR newscaster and reporter Paul Brown, also a former news director and program director of WFDD. During the camp sessions, participants will learn how to record an interview and narration, edit audio and produce a three-minute oral history radio story. Read more
