I always look forward to the camp, it's a bit of a mad rush to prepare and the weeks of the camp are always hectic no matter how involved I am. This year I'm thankful that I was able to delegate most of the work to my CSJ employees. To Jack, Maggie, Will, Juniper, and Connor, thank you so much!

CHLY radio summer camp teaches kids media skills โ€“ The Discourse. Kids make radio shows and podcasts at โ€˜super funโ€™ summer camp at Nanaimoโ€™s community radio station.

And with that, @chly.ca's Summer Radio Camp for Youths has come to a close. 2025 was the largest camp yet we've run! New this year was a section on media literacy, fact checking, checking and using reliable sources.

@micksweetman.bsky.social reported on the camp.
