summer day camp

We welcome you to SDSU's College of Extended Studies Teen Academy Production. We have been learning about how television is made and the people who make it. We have spent the last several days going through the positions and jobs of the production department here at San Diego 6. Here is Catie Hook with a demonstration of the chromakey and how it is used for newscast. That's right! I'm here on the chromakey which is basically a giant green wall or screen, as anybody would say. You can use it for traffic, weather, anything you really need it to. And you can do all this stuff with it! So, that's all I have to say, I guess, so back to you guys! We've got a lot to cover, so we hope that you've enjoyed our presentation.


Summer Teen Academy Options Include

SDSU Research Foundation Program

Don’t sign up for a summer camp that’s a waste of time: come rock your summer at one of San Diego State University’s Summer Teen Academies. Tour a local game design studio, and try out game design software. Check out a TV production studio, and learn to create video from experts in the field. Or visit San Diego’s Superior Court and stage your own courtroom drama.

Colleges are keeping an eye out for high school students who can show they have a wide range of interests. So don’t waste your summer eating cheesy puffs in front of the tube! Enough Guitar Hero! It’s time to rock your summer.

Our San Diego summer day camps are for grade 9-12 students, and run Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 4 pm at SDSU’s Extended Studies Gateway Center, on the corner of Campanile Drive and Hardy Avenue.

So jump at the chance to:

  • Hang out on a college campus this summer,
  • Learn from industry experts, and
  • Develop skills for future careers.
Did we mention the bowling and pizza? And stay tuned: additional summer camps are being designed right now that will kick off this year...
