On our third day of Radio Camp, we continued to learn the subtleties of our professional radio gear, but everyone is picking up quickly! Our wonderful campers are also quickly picking up what good microphone technique means, and how to make yourself sound great every time that you record!

On our second day of Radio Camp, our dreamers came up with our radio station call letters:

WACD (We Are Classical Dreamers)

We also learned the three essential roles for any recording session–talent, producer and engineer–and then we wrote and recorded “three things about me” and put these new skills to the test.

Hurray! The Summer Dreamer’s Radio Program has officially started for its fourth year in a row. Today we met our campers and played the fun ice-breaker “Two Truths and One Lie.” We also made our very own Radio Badges.

Time flies when you’re having fun. That couldn’t be more true for Radio Camp 2012! We had SUCH a blast this summer, and these past five weeks have just soared on by. We will miss each and every one of you, big dreamers!

Our last day was a choose-your-own-adventure day: we recorded with the H1s, drew on the board, played games, talked, danced and reflected on our time with Radio Camp. The second block showed off our blossoming interview skills by talking to Mr. Akeel of MCG’s Art Activism program.

Thanks to all of you for coming to SDA, showing up with smiles, trying new things, sharing pieces of yourselves, showing off your talents, developing your creative mojo, and teaching your teachers what you know best: how to be awesome. We’ll be practicing our new skills until we meet again next year!

P-A-R-T-Y!! That’s how you spell it, and that’s what we did. We went over to the Children’s Museum for our “surprise” and it was SO fun. We looked at this blog here, danced to music, listened to our new CD, decorated our album art, ate pizza, and played with effects boxes that changed the sound of our voices. We didn’t want to leave!

And we shouldn’t forget, in the morning we had a few talented campers perform on stage, and also had a few all-camp award winners! We are SO PROUD of our amazing kids at SDA!!
