The 2006 Summer Video Camp Recognition Ceremony

This summer a dozen junior high school students, nine high school students, and the combined efforts of the Mayor’s Office, MY TURN, and Brockton Community Access all came together for the first ever Summer Video Camp held at Brockton Community Access.  Just recently we at BCA opened our doors to all those involved, their parents, and representatives from all the participating organizes for a recognition ceremony.  Since it was here at One North Main, 1NM took the chance to talk some of the organizers on there thoughts about the 2006 Summer Video Camp.

In case you didn’t know Brockton Community Access is not the only non-profit access center in the area.  We a part of a rich, diverse conglomeration of independent center's all striving to provide TV/video production training and programming to our specific communities.  Every now and then there is legislation that threatens to limit, abolish, or starve out the existence of our industry.  So our friends at QATV put together a PSA about the importance of Community Access and how you can find out more. 

To learn more about Community Access on the national level visit The Alliance for Community Media, for regional information visit The Alliance for Community Media Northeast Region, for state level information visit MassAccess, to learn how you can help protect community access visit Save Access, and of course explore BCA's whole website for information about Brockton Community Access.
