With CKUT Radio Camp, you will get the chance to try on, try in, and try out the world of radio! In collaboration with McGill Conservatory Daycamps we have designed a one week intensive program to introduce you to this fascinating medium of communication! How does radio work? And a sound studio? How is the musical programming chosen? And the interviews? Answers to all these questions and more, and exciting hands-on activities are all programmed into this great camp! To be sure the experience is interesting for everyone, 10-13 year old and 14-17 year old will have their own groups and the camps will be held in alternating sessions. Also, the CRC gang (max of 10 registrations per session!) will finish their week by participating in a live CKUT broadcast! New this year : Check out our 2-week long intensive radio camps for teens!

New Specialized 2-week long camps for teens

Radio CKUT's totally bilingual Summer Radio Camp is now in it's third year and unveiling 2 new and exciting options for campers. We are offering two new 2-week long specialized camps for teenagers aged 14-17.
