SLB Radio Summer Camps offer middle and high school students one-of-a-kind experiences at the Youth Media Center (co-located within the Children’s Museum on the North Side), including opportunities to learn new skills, make new friends, and be heard. Camp themes for 2026 include podcasting, songwriting, and the launch of a new, audio-first literary magazine.
Songwriters–join us for a week of writing, recording, and storytelling at the Youth Media Center. Students will produce original songs along with accompanying mini-documentaries that give listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process. In week one, campers will investigate new sources of inspiration, learn recording techniques, and produce a song. In week two, campers will shake up their creative processes by engaging in writing exercises, exploring new instruments, and launching fresh collaborations.
Location: Camps take place at the SLB Youth Media Center, co-located within the Children’s Museum at 10 Children’s Way, Pittsburgh PA 15212.
Schedule: Each camp runs from Monday – Friday from 10 am – 3 pm. Campers may arrive at the Youth Media Center as early as 9:45 am, and must depart no later than 3:30 pm.
Cost: The fee per two-week camp is $600, which includes daily lunch and snacks, an SLB Radio t-shirt, and project materials/equipment.
Sessions: Each camp session is designed to be a two-week experience: in week one, we’ll focus on learning new skills and community building through hands-on activities. In week two, campers will have the opportunity to work with more independence as they put their new skills to work. While we hope that all campers will be able to spend two weeks with us, we offer a limited number of slots for campers who are only able to attend during week one.
Application: Registration is now open here. Spots are limited and campers are accepted on a rolling basis.
Financial Aid: Full and partial scholarships are available. Families are strongly encouraged to apply.
