Please Note: We are conducting a thorough review of our summer camp program in 2023 in order to ensure that it meets the highest standards for quality, education, and of course, enjoyment. Sadly, this means our summer camps will not be occurring this summer. We aspire to bring the program back next year.
Burnaby Summer Camps
The BCIT Broadcast and Media Summer Camps in Burnaby are tailored for kids and teens aged 8-17. With the guidance of industry professionals, kids and teens can apply their creativity and step behind the scenes of the world of broadcast and media production. All kids and teens summer camps are in-person at the BCIT Burnaby campus and will include both indoor and outdoor activities. Take the time this summer to learn something remarkable!
Audio Arts & Entertainment
Your voice can tell a great story and our pros can show you how to use it to its fullest potential.
