Review of Summer CampWhat a delightful piece and perfect for stations to air during the summer. The camp experience is something young and old can relate to and Borten brings together voices of all age ranges to describe and recreate the joys and challenges of summer camp. This is and sound collage at its best and would work well with another of Borten's half hour pieces to create a great summer special. |

Review of Summer Camp
Starting off with a review of popular summer camp culture the intent is to pull the listener in to the stories of what summer camp is like. But it disolves into personal stories of summer camp experiences with very little set up or transition from story to story. The stories have very little connectivity other than trying to be sound bites to link a theme together. The concept is good but the excution is uneven.
