SPOT 127's summer boot camps offer high school students in the metro Phoenix area intensive, hands-on training in multimedia production. During the immersive camps, SPOT 127 staff, KJZZ 91.5 FM journalists and media professionals mentor students while they produce audio and video pieces.

Participants spend two weeks learning to report, write, shoot and edit audio and video stories with the latest equipment. It is an excellent opportunity for students to get hands-on production experience and to develop multimedia pieces that can be used in portfolios and scholarship and college applications. Students will participate in an off-site video shoot as part of the program.

Additionally July sessions at SPOT 127 offer a variety of experiences in digital media with a close connection to topics that impact the lives of high school students. Students write stories on a specific topic, gain new skills, expand upon existing skills and create an assortment of exciting projects.

We will be holding two-week boot camps June 3-June 21, Monday-Friday from 2 p.m. - 6 p.m., at our East Valley location and from 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m., at our West Valley location.
We will be holding July sessions July 8-July 25, Monday-Thursday from 2 p.m. - 6 p.m., at our East Valley location and 9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m., at our West Valley location.
