Camper Podcast - Meet the Morning Electives Group: Podcasting & Photography

With podcasts becoming increasingly more popular, Golden Slipper Camp has decided to provide our campers an opportunity to participate in this emerging technology. During the Summer of 2008, Aunt Jen and I will be teaming up with campers during electives (and throughout the day) armed with smiles and Zoom H4 recorders. Our campers will write, record, interview, edit, and publish podcasts so that they can listen to them after the summer and access them when they get older.

Additionally, the podcasts will provide you, our loyal readers/listeners throughout the Slipper world, another opportunity to feel like a part of the magic that happens during the Summer of 2008. We'll be putting up podcasts featuring interviews, Lunchtime News, evening activities, and much more. You can listen to the first GSC podcast, featuring Uncle Spoon and myself, which explains podcasts in a little more detail.

Right now, we are please to share a GSC first, something that keeps GSC at the head of the summer camp class: our first podcasts featuring campers! To listen to the GSC Podcast, featuring the campers of morning electives, click the GSC Podcast Logo below.
