Ravens Podcast Journalism and Sports Camp
Youth 13-16 years old
Our Podcast Journalism and Sports Camp is a fun and friendly day camp for teenagers aged 13-16 who want to explore audio podcasting while they exercise both their bodies and their minds. This camp offers fun and educational podcasting activities for young teens and is meant for those who are fascinated by telling stories, hearing what others have to say and then giving voice to those stories. This journalism camp offers a unique opportunity to learn in a university setting. The Podcast Journalism and Sports camp is a collaborative effort between the Carleton University School of Journalism and Communication and the Department of Recreation and Athletics.
