- Juneau Live! Studio August Showrunner Camp (tuition-free)
- The Showrunner Camp is a one-week immersion program in television production for middle and high school students. Participants (“crew”) learn the skills needed to broadcast a live two-hour music concert recorded in front of a studio audience. During the five-day camp, the crew receives instruction from industry professionals and practices those skills in a working TV studio, including making live, public broadcasts each day. Crew members become their own production company which, by week’s end, self-sufficiently produce (with on-screen credit) an episode of Juneau Live! Studio’s Alaska Music One Presents with local bands in front of a studio audience.
