It’s hard to believe, but this is our last audio posting from Radio Camp! The time FLEW by, and we are all so sad to be leaving Camp King. We decided on our own pieces to record in the SLB broadcast studio – some of us sang songs, some told us about themselves, and one even showed of his beat-boxing talents! We surely do have a talented and creative group of kids here in Radio Camp. They are also unbelievably SPIRITED – KWHB was chosen to have the spirit stick again today. I think that makes FIVE days (out of 25 – that’s pretty amazing!) that we were the most spirited kids in all of camp. YAY US!

Today, Ms. Sarah and Ms. May showed us a game called reverse storytelling, where you tell the plot and have friends guess what story you are trying to tell. We figured out that telling a story about chocolate or meatballs gives away the answer really quick! A few of us stumped our classmates though.

We used the H1 recorders again too, answering some more questions about ourselves and our lives. Once we finished that, a few of us sang some songs and performed some chants too.

Did we mention we had the spirit class AGAIN!? Congrats, campers from WHRS!

Today, we simulated a live radio broadcast from our studio. Miss May was our host, and we all got a chance to talk about our favorite things from Radio Camp and Summer Dreamers Academy. We certainly learned a lot about radio and got hands-on experience with different kinds of equipment and experiences. We did such a great job in the studio, that we went outside to Cloud Arbor (our second favorite place to visit when we leave King!), where Miss May became our towel. Til next week, campers!

Already in Radio Camp, we’ve gotten a chance to be the host, the talent, the producer, the programmer… and now, we’ve also been engineers! Today, we built radios from scratch – just a few wires, some transistors, switches and BOOM – A Radio.

We did things a bit different today — our first block went to the radio station and did some recording. Some of our second graders got a chance to be the DJ just the way that Mr. Larry showed us how yesterday! Our fourth graders did some recordings with Miss Sarah (see below).

During second block, we talked about what a programmer does on the radio. We talked about what content goes on the radio, and then put together our own hour by drawing a pie chart! We also got to see the middle-schoolers from Art Activism rehearse for their peace rally tomorrow. Best of luck to them!
