| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the newspaper production program at WriCampia, a two-week sleepaway camp designed to enhance youth media literacy, individual voice, and positive development through a teen-run newsroom. Campers aged 9 to 17 engage in reporting, writing, editing, and designing a camp newspaper that covers camp life, local stories, and broader social issues, fostering skills such as curiosity, fairness, and resilience. The program emphasizes journalistic values and real-world connections, including understanding journalism’s role in democracy, while providing campers with a strong sense of community and confidence through bylines and collaborative work. The article also outlines practical steps and best practices for establishing a camp newspaper elective, highlighting its educational and social benefits. [Extracted from the article] |
