Engagement and empowerment is the focus of Student Voices Media Creation Camp. All campers will have opportunities to come up with ideas, interview, film, and produce their projects. During the week, all students will experience a variety of aspects of media creation through diverse assignments. The ultimate goal is to share their projects in a Friday Showcase.

Grades: 5-9
Camp Hours: 9:00am-4:00pm

Camp activities provide skill-development through hands-on interviewing, filming, and editing of videos for each day’s assignment. Foundational news literacy and media creation skills form the basis for students, under the guidance of coaches, to utilize their creativity and interests in producing projects.
A letter of recommendation is due after completion of the registration form. For the recommendation letter, ask a teacher or staff member at your school to send a quick email talking about your skills and experience in writing and creating presentations and videos. They can also speak to your academic and social abilities. Please send the letter to: dlgriffin@butler.edu
