Students Wrote and Produced Their Own TV Show at Local Camp

The show, called "Tri-Valley Youth View," airs on Comcast and U-Verse channels.

For the third summer, Tri-Valley Community TV is offering a session of a unique TV Summer Camp available to middle school and high school students in the Tri-Valley.  

One camp took place the week of June 13 — which produced a TV show — but there will be a second session that will begin Aug. 8.

In June, 12 campers from Dublin, Pleasanton, and San Ramon participated in the five day camp; the result is a special show produced by the students titled “Tri-Valley Youth View.” This 30- minute program is currently airing on Channel 30 and 28 (see schedule below).

Under the direction of Camp Director Mitch Eason, the hands-on TV camp provides an introduction to the technical and talent aspects of studio and field production, writing, producing and digital video editing.

Middle and high schoolers who participated in the last camp wrote and produced “Tri-Valley Youth View." That means they researched and wrote questions, acted as crew for all the production positions and were talent for the program.
