SpartanTV Broadcasting Camp

SPARTAN TV BROADCASTING CAMP IS YOUR CHANCE TO LEARN FROM THE PROS! LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION SpartanTV Broadcasting Camp will give campers the hands-on experience and skills they need to write, produce and edit like true broadcasters and speak like the PROS! Campers will use our stateof-the-art television studio, iMac Lab, professional field and studio cameras and video editing software to produce their own daily news shows. Plus there will be outdoor activities, a field trip to a local news station and free lunch every day!

Using the IPIE™ system created by Young Broadcasters of America, campers will learn the art of speaking on-camera, improve their interviewing skills and learn how to communicate with confidence in any situation.
