Kamloops Adventure Media (K.A.M.)
Five students, two rivers, and the people who surround them.
About us
We are five journalism students dedicating the semester to investigating the realm of local outdoor sports and the individuals who shape it. Coming from diverse backgrounds, we have a shared enthusiasm for nature and an interest in the narratives developing throughout Kamloops. This site is a compilation of our multimedia storytelling adventure showcasing original journalism, photography, audio, and video that delve deeper into the individuals, locations, and experiences that influence Kamloops’ outdoor sports community.
