History
In the fall of 2015, an idea hit us: how amazing would it be to provide a camp for high school students in and around Nebraska to get involved with video and audio production? Rural students aren’t always offered ample opportunities for creative expression, nor do they realize the sheer amount of career paths in the field of communications. Plans formed, paperwork was filed, and - voila! - here we are, excited to be planning the seventh annual Digital Expressions Summer Media Camp. We think campers will love our campus, the classes they take, the projects they get to work on, and the memories they will create here!
