Clips of the Day


Shooting the "COD" with The Media Spot, 2007

Since 2002 The Media Spot (TMS) has partnered with TGC to teach campers the basics of video production through documenting the camp experience. Small groups videotape each TGC activity, then meet with Rhys Daunic and Andy Hieb of TMS to edit their footage into the Clips of the Day. The traditional final camp event is watching the "Clips" with parents, campers and staff.

The production process promotes media literacy and creates camp mementos archived on this website, which show audiences TGC from the campers' unique perspective.

The 2007 clips are here! This year's activities provided tons of great material to film. Watch the clips to see the camp through the eyes of our campers!
