They each randomly drew a genre from a hat:

2021 June HCM Video Camp Welcome Packet
_____________
Beargrass Media One-Week IN-PERSON Video Camp June 7-11, 2021
9 AM – 4 PM
At the Highlands Community Campus
Sign up for camp via this google form
To pay for the camp, please use one of the following 2 options:
- Transfer $190 via Venmo and mention the student’s name and the camp month in the notes. ID: @Patrick-Fitzgerald-68
- Write a check for $190 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. (With appropriate precautions and also online options for those who would prefer to work remotely.) 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.
First off, we will be returning to in-person instruction, and the camp will be held at the Highlands Community Campus, the location of Highlands Community Ministries office. The address is 1228 East Breckinridge Street, but most people will enter the HCC parking lot from Barrett Avenue on the west side of the street across from Christy Avenue. See the map below:
HCC Map for Video 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.
We will host a video meeting at 7:00 on Wednesday, June 2nd for anyone who wants to get last minute questions answered and weigh in on specific safety precautions for their child. We’ll send out the link to that meeting with the welcome packet on June 1st.
Since we spent the last year 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.
Patrick and Jon-Mark
