Summer camp 2025 recap
And that’s a wrap on CKCU’s Summer Radio Camp this year! Over five packed weeks, a whole new crew of young radio stars took over the station. They wrote ads, recorded radio plays, interviewed guests, and hosted their own live 2-hour shows on CKCU 93.1 FM. Campers learned real skills, made real friends, and had a lot of fun—on and off the mic.
We are so grateful for the enthusiastic turnout we had this year and for getting to share the world of radio with our campers! Thank you to everyone who tuned in to the weekly “Radio Camp Live!” shows.
Here are some pictures to see see what our campers were up to the past few weeks. In addition to recording and editing, our campers even had a “bring your stuffy to camp” day, met one of our hosts’ sheepdogs, explored Carleton’s campus, and more.
Be sure to stay tuned to find out when Radio Camp will be returning!

HEY KIDS! WANT TO TAKE OVER THE AIRWAVES AND EXPLORE THE WORLD OF RADIO?!?
Join us at CKCU 93.1 FM for a truly unique camp experience this summer. CKCU’s Radio Camp is the only camp in Ottawa that teaches kids between the ages of 10 and 14 how to be a real live radio star in a week. CKCU has been offering this unique and fun camp to kids in the Ottawa area since 2001.
WHAT KIND OF FUN CAN CAMPERS EXPECT?
Create a radio advertisement
Campers will create their very own radio ad. From preparing a script, to putting in sound effects and music, they will take part in the whole process while learning audio recording and editing skills along the way.
Be part of the cast and write a radio play
Have a love for writing and acting? Each radio camper will help write and be a voice actor in an original radio play. The radio plays are recorded to professional standards and include using music and sound effects made by the radio campers themselves!
Interview a special guest
Campers will put their writing and interview skills to work by preparing and hosting an interview with a special guest.
Host and produce a LIVE 2-hour radio show
Campers host a live 2-hour broadcast showcasing their talents and new skills on the last day of camp! The radio show will feature everything the campers have done over the week – interviews, content segments, ads, radio plays; as well as music selections. It will be heard over the airwaves of 93.1 FM and around the world at ckcufm.com!
