Tri-Valley TV Will Air Special Produced By Camp Students
The hands-on TV Camp provided an introduction to the technical and talent aspects of studio and field production.
From TV30: Tri-Valley Youth View, an hour special TV program produced by middle and high school students who attended one of the TV30 Summer Camps is currently airing on TV30 and on the station’s website at tv30.org . This is the ninth summer camp Tri-Valley Community TV has offered. Each summer there are two sessions of this unique TV camp.
This premiere episode of Tri-Valley Youth View represents the work of students who attended the first session the week of June 12 – 16. Eight students from all over the Tri-Valley participated in the five day camp.
"TV30 is the only place in the greater Bay Area that students can gain this type of hands on experience in an actual broadcast environment. In the last nine years students have kept in touch with us and due to their TVCTV experience, have decided to make media their career,” said Melissa Tench-Stevens, Executive Director at TVCTV. "We truly appreciate the time that Tri-Valley professionals extend to be interviewed and interact with the students.”
