About the Camp

This past summer Jesuit High School offered a journalism camp for both boys and girls as part of  Summer at Jesuit’s Academy Camps. Through the class, called Journey Into Journalism, students from 5th through 8th grade learned how to write in the journalistic style and conduct interviews. Throughout the week, journalism campers interviewed other campers, counselors and instructors, and the Director of Summer Programs Gregory Harcos ’89. They then wrote stories from these interviews and put together a camp newspaper which they named “The Journalist Theory.” Topics of stories ranged from, what summer camp was like during the Covid-19 pandemic, to features on numerous sports camps and a behind-the-scenes look into the popular Robotics Camp. Here are some excerpts from “The Journalist Theory.”
