In this ever changing media landscape it is important for those who are interested in pursuing a future in this discipline to accumulate as many skills as possible and mentorship is key.

The hope of the camp is that participants will have a lot of fun and learn to work as a team. It’s all about making the opportunity available. Everybody has a passion. It might be bugs, track & field, drawing, string-theory, or it might be radio... You’ll never know unless you’re allowed to try! We make that possible in a safe environment.

The camp is open to youths ages 12-17 and will be running until July 28th. If you are interested in learning more about this summer's radio camp please visit http://www.cfur.ca/radio-camp/ alternatively you can reach CFUR station manager Ian Gregg at 250-960-5995.
