Kids' Video Camps

Each spring and summer, we offer our popular Kids' Video Camps. Each camp is a one-week session in television & radio production for youth aged 10-13. Participants will produce a program in DMA's television studio through storyboarding, and operating cameras and sound equipment. They will also get an introduction to media literacy & the radio booth at KDRT-LP 95.7fm.

The class dates are daily from 9 a.m. to noon, Monday through Friday

Here's what one parent said about one of last year's camps:

"I wanted to say how much my son enjoyed the Kid Vid Camp...He truly loved the experience, and it has been good for him in many ways. He's made many creative movies since he finished the class, and we've loved his feature films where he writes, directs and films his brother and friends.

It's also been good for him socially. He's better able to hold a conversation with people he doesn't know, thanks to the interview techniques he learned in camp."

The dates for the 2009 camps are as follows:

Spring Break Camp:
April 6 - April 10 9am-12pm (early drop-off 8:45am)
