Sports Announcing & Sports Journalism Camp

Our camp offers the theories and the practical experience necessary to start a student on the road toward a career in either sports broadcasting or sports journalism.

Have you thought about a career as a sports announcer or sports journalist? We can teach you the techniques to be successful!

Waynesburg University's Sports Announcing & Sports Journalism Camp allows students interested in those fields to learn the philosophies and techniques of the profession. Attendees receive practical experience in reporting sports, interviewing, doing play-by-play, and more.

Current high school sophomores, juniors and seniors are eligible to attend. If you have any questions, please contact Isaiah Skeete, Associate Director of Admissions, at 724-852-3216 or isaiah.skeete@waynesburg.edu.
