Danville Area Community College is going full speed with their College for Kids summer camps, and once again one of those camps, in its 26th year, is the Neuhoff Sports Media Camp. Neuhoff Media’s Mike Hulvey, who created the camp with fellow DHS alumnus and Neuhoff announcer Scott Eisenhauer two-and-a-half decades ago, says this camp has produced some real professionals.
AUDIO: We have people that work for CBS. We have people that work for the National Football League. We have individuals who are working at Division One levels of university in some level of media. And even if those kids that used to be kids aren’t in the media business; they learn public speaking, they learn confidence, they learn writing.

A veteran Neuhoff Sports Media camper is Murphy McCool, going into his senior year at Bismark-Henning-Rossville-Alvin High School.
AUDIO: I joined this in 6th grade just not really knowing that this is what I wanted to do. I initially came in here thinking I wanted to do like statistics. But I always knew that I wanted to be with the sports world. I just decided that media might be something I want to try out. And I came here first year and fell in love with it. I love doing play-by-play. It’s just a great feeling, so this camp’s an amazing thing to have.

Then, you have youngsters like Carter French, who traveled across the state from Geneseo to participate in this year’s camp.
AUDIO: My dad figured out about this camp; and I came here to stay with my grandpa and do the basketball camp at the same time.
Thursday night’s (June 16th) Danville Dans game on 1490 WDAN (https://vermilioncountyfirst.com/wdan-danvilles-talk-station/) and VermilionCountyFirst.com will include Neuhoff Sports Media campers doing play-by-play.
