2022 July HCM Video Camp Welcome Packet

To pay for the camp, please use one of the following 2 options:

  1. Transfer $220 via Venmo and mention the student’s name and the camp month in the notes.              ID: @Patrick-Fitzgerald-68
  2. Write a check for $220 to Beargrass Media and mail it to 2513 Blvd Napoleon Louisville KY  40205

DETAILS:

The students will learn how to write, record, edit, and publish video productions.  The  camp will be conducted in an in-person format.   The students will use personal devices like phones and tablets tablets as well as camp-supplied video cameras, microphones, a teleprompter, green screen, etc.  Students who have participated in one of our video camps before will be put in a group appropriate to their experience and ability.

There will be an official welcome packet that comes out the week prior to the camp with some more exact details, but  we wanted to give you a heads-up on what to expect.  This will include what we know now and what could change between now and then related to pandemic precautions.

There is still time to request to be paired up with someone who is already registered or to tell a friend to sign up for the camp to join you.  Sooner is better for us, because as the number of students grows, sometimes we pull in additional help for parts of the camp.   

The camp will include some indoor classroom activity, some outdoor instruction and recording, some group projects, and some solo projects. All will be conducted in accordance with the most recent approved CDC Guidelines as well as any additional family concerns for social distancing, masking, and other precautions.  

If anyone would like to get a look at the videos made during the 2022 June video camp, check out the link directly below:

Since we spent part of the last 2 years having kids work on video projects remotely, we have learned that they gain some valuable experience on some of the solo type work on a phone or tablet, and we will incorporate that into the camp.  We would like as many students as possible to bring their portable devices with them to camp.  If your student will NOT be bringing a portable device to camp, please let us know, so we can take an inventory of who will have what.   Students will bring their devices, their lunch, and be dressed for some outdoor time.  

All of the most up-to-date camp details will be on this camp page.  We will post videos for the students and link them on the web site, but if any of the kids already have their own YouTube channel, they can post it, and we will link to it.

Looking forward to connecting with these students this summer.  Please feel free to reach out in advance if you have questions.
