SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS: June 23, 2021
The summer learning and exploration series Camp TV launches Season 2 on Monday, June 21 on KLRN Public Television. Similar to Season 1, KLRN will feature three local organizations in the local broadcast schedule, and one of them is being picked up and distributed in the national series.
San Antonio segments in this series include:
- Morgan’s Wonderland: learning to draw using shapes (June 24)
- San Antonio Zoo: learning about the Aldabra Tortoise (July 5)
- San Antonio Food Bank: growing food with a 300-year-old acequia (July 14)
“KLRN is thrilled to showcase three of our wonderful community partners this summer on Season 2 of Camp TV,” said Arthur Emerson, President and CEO of KLRN. “We can’t wait for viewers to get to know the San Antonio Zoo, Morgan’s Wonderland, and our historic Acequia – located on the grounds of the San Antonio Missions; the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Texas.”
Broadway performer Zachary Noah Piser (“Dear Evan Hansen,” “Wicked”) returns as head counselor to guide campers ages 5-10 as they learn through play. To foster a sense of community, Piser kicks off each episode with a welcome song and announces the theme for the day. Kids can prepare for each program and participate based on the theme. Season 2 themes include Summer Celebration Day, Snow Day, Patterns Day, Inside Out Day, Independence Day, Celebrate Your Name Day, Sports Day, Royalty Day, Travel Day, Mismatched Shoe (and Sock!) Day, Favorite Animal Day, Ocean Day, Farm Day and more.
Piser guides campers through a variety of activities, exploring nature, math, science, the arts, movement, storytelling, writing and more. In Season 2, kids will learn to garden, beatbox, investigate a “tornado in a jar,” celebrate a panda’s first birthday, do a salad dance, and make a pattern parfait and a “mini moody me” social emotional craft. Each episode also includes a storytelling segment with a different book of the day. Activity guides will be posted on camptv.org so families can prepare ahead of each episode.
Camp TV is a production of The WNET Group. The program is distributed nationally by the National Educational Telecommunications Association (NETA).
Major funding for Camp TV is provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Additional funding is provided by The Peter G. Peterson and Joan Ganz Cooney Fund and the Pine Tree Foundation of New York.
