WCTV Field Trip Photos

We had such a wonderful time touring the WCTV Studios!

The children learned about all that goes on behind the scenes to create news broadcasts each day. We were able to see how green screens work, sit at the news desk and film a greeting to go on air, observe the reporters and anchors working in the news room, and view the control room.

We also learned about robotic cameras, teleprompters, and what it is like to be a news anchor from our wonderful tour guide, Shonda Knight. The children were able to ask questions, and to hear from a news anchor and control room operators about how they prepared for and what they enjoy about their careers.

Details: Join TEACH for this Saturday field trip that is perfect for families! White Oak Pastures is a multi-generational family farm that cooperates with nature to produce artisan products that are healthy, safe, nutritious, and delicious.

We will have a 1-hour guided walking tour and observe the beef and poultry abattoirs, biddy and bunny barn, egg candling machine, and 6-acre organic vegetable farm. After the tour, families can choose to eat lunch featuring food grown and raised right on the farm at the White Oak Open Air Restaurant (see a sample menu here). Another lunch option is to bring your own lunch and eat at a picnic area at the nearby Kolomoki Mounds State Park.

Since Kolomoki is so close to White Oak Pastures (a 19 minute drive), some families will be making a day of it by touring the Kolomoki Indian Mounds following the White Oak tour and lunch. All families are welcome! See Kolomoki Park admission fee information here.

Wear comfortable shoes since this is a walking tour on a working farm. You can check out the White Oak Pastures website here.
