Radio Camp 2012 – Day 2 – Three Things
Today, we brought out the professional radio equipment! We are using microphones and an H4, so we learned how to hold the microphone and how to be a good listener while our friends are recording.
Since we are still getting to know each other, we each recorded three things about ourselves. We have a lot of athletes, musicians, readers, animal-lovers, singers, dancers — an EXCELLENT group of kids by every measure!!
Radio Camp 2012 – Day 1 – Introductions!
Hurray! The Summer Dreamer’s Radio Program has officially started for its third year in a row. Today we met our campers and played fun ice-breakers like “Human Knot” (anyone still tied up?) We brainstormed as a group and came up with our Radio Camp station call letters! Block one came up with KWHB for Work hard, Have fun, Be nice and block two came up with WHRS for Hollywood Radio Station. We are so excited to see what else they come up with!
Welcome to their blog, where we’ll document all of their educational adventures and store all of the audio they create. We’ve got an exciting five weeks ahead of us, weeks filled to the brim with unbridled awesomeness. See you tomorrow!
