Final Project Proposal

By Chris Eckard

For my final project in JOUR203, I want to cover the Young Life Fall Weekend in Goshen, Va. The weekend spans from November 13 through November 15.
The camp is located at Rockbridge Alum Springs, which is about three and a half hours away. It is a trip of high school students and Young Life leaders from Montgomery County, including Blake High School and Quince Orchard High School.

Young Life is a non-denominational Christian organization that works with middle school and high school kids. This fall weekend is a time for fun, games and speakers. The person of Jesus Christ is shown through a relationship between the kids and their leaders.

At the camp, there is a lake, hot tub, zip line, blob, ropes course, climbing tower, basketball courts, volleyball courts and much more.

The project will incorporate the fun times of the weekend to an outside audience. I will conduct interviews with leaders, camp directors and kids throughout the weekend.

I will take video, pictures and audio from different camp events and activities.
The video can be geared toward anyone interested in what Young Life is or how it is run. It will also detail what is involved on the campgrounds.

I will do background research before the trip and then I will be apart of the trip. I will bring all of my equipment: Flipcam, tripod, digital camera, and audio recorder.
