Met Radio is a community radio station located on the campus of Toronto Metropolitan University. We run radio training and workshops for youth and children including summer camps!

Join us for fun and radio-making at Kids Radio Camp! Returning for summer 2026, we’ll be running camps throughout the summer and are offering full-day and half-day options!

Half-day camp July 20-24 for kids aged 13-17 – 1PM-4:30PM

Over five afternoons, campers will get a chance to record in Met Radio’s studios and will end the week with a live studio broadcast. They will learn how to produce radio spots, conduct interviews, DJ, record music live in-studio and write scripts for radio. This hands-on week of radio will focus on having our older campers in the studio where they’ll gain practical skills in recording techniques and editing.

 

Full-day camp July 6-10 and August 4-7 (short week) for kids aged 8-12 years – 9AM to 4:30PM

Our full-day camp is a week of fun radio-focused activities including: 

  • Writing and recording short radio pieces
  • Writing and performing a radio play, including making sound effects! 
  • Recording live music in the studio 
  • Hosting a one-hour live music program at the end of the week
  • Games and crafts

Met Radio is located on the campus of Toronto Metropolitan University. While we’ll be spending time in the studio, we’ll also get outside and take advantage of local green spaces!
