Last week was amazing! 📸 Our halls were buzzing with creativity and youthful energy during our photography summer camp. We had a blast teaching these talented kids how to capture the world through their own unique lenses. 🔭 From learning the basics of composition to finding the perfect light, they truly embraced every moment. The week culminated in a special gallery exhibit where students proudly displayed their best work for friends and family to enjoy. 🖼️ A huge thank you to all the campers for making this such a memorable experience. We can't wait to see how they continue to grow as young artists! ✨

These faces, these stories, these essential community programs – they're all made possible by public broadcasting. But federal funding is under threat, and that puts everything we value at risk. Let's rally together to protect public access and ensure these opportunities continue to exist. Please consider donating to Midpen Media at midpenmedia.org. Every bit helps!
