The Clark Recreation Sports Broadcasting Camp Returns for a Second Year.
Middle school and high school students have the unique opportunity to learn about the world of sports broadcasting when Clark Recreation conducts their second annual Sports Broadcasting Camp from June 25-29, 2012 at the Clark Recreation Center on Westfield Avenue, Clark.
The Clark Recreation Sports Broadcasting Camp is open to all students, male or female, ages 11-and-older. Over the course of the camp week, students gain insight into areas such as play-by-play, sports talk show hosting, TV anchoring techniques, game preparation, writing and interviewing skills, professional presentation, and more. Special guest lecturers that include several big-name area broadcasters, on-camera activities, and hands-on instruction, are all a part of the daily schedule. Practice assignments lead up to the two main projects, hosting a five minute sportscast and calling play-by-play of a Somerset Patriots minor league baseball game. Campers will also receive a DVD at the end of the week featuring all of their on-camera work.
