A dozen local students have the perfect answer to what they did on summer vacation. They can point to a half-hour TV program.

Tri-Valley Youth View, a 30-minute special produced by middle and high school students who attended the TV30 Summer Camp, is currently airing on TV30 and on the station’s website at tv30.org. For the seventh summer Tri-Valley Community TV is offering two sessions of this unique TV Summer Camp. The first camp took place the week of June 15th. Twelve campers from all over the Tri-Valley participated in the five day camp. This episode of Tri-Valley Youth View represents the work of students who attended the first camp.

“The first set of Summer Campers this year were very serious about learning all aspects of TV production”, said Melissa Tench-Stevens, Executive Director Tri-Valley TV. “We all appreciate the time community leaders give to come to the studio to be interviewed by the students. They inspire the students and it appears the students inspire them too by demonstrating their dedication to producing a quality TV program.”

The hands-on TV Camp provides an introduction to the technical and talent aspects of studio and field production. Tri-Valley Youth View was written and produced by students from grades six to twelve. Campers researched and wrote questions, acted as crew for all the production positions and were talent for the program.

Guests on this episode of Tri-Valley Youth View include Dublin City Manager Chris Foss; Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District Trustee Craig Bueno; Pleasanton Police Chief Dave Spiller; Zone 7 Water Agency Board of Director Jim McGrail; Eric Payne, Livermore Valley Wine App founder Eric Payne; Lee Jouthas, Dublin Library Branch Manager; and Deputy Chief Jeff Peters from the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire District. Chief Peters brought a fire truck with him to the interview.
