Sign Up For High School Journalism Camps Now!

NEW HAVEN – The award-winning Conn. Health I-Team is now accepting applications for two week-long summer journalism workshops for high school students.

For the eighth year, C-HIT will host the camps, at the University of Connecticut and Quinnipiac University. The UConn camp is the week of July 9-13 and the Quinnipiac camp the week of July 16-20.

The program gives students an opportunity to develop multimedia and investigative reporting skills in a unique, intensive workshop environment led by local journalists. Students will spend a week on a high-profile university campus, learning the theories and process of journalism by participating in classes led by some of Connecticut’s best journalists, working on various forms of storytelling using state-of-the-art equipment, and spending a day visiting a media company.

Selected students’ work will be published on C-HIT’s site. Scholarships are available for students in need.

Many of our “campers” have gone on to become accomplished journalists, interning at such publications as the Hartford Courant, the New York Times and the Boston Globe.

Information about the camps and an online application can be found at c-hit.org at this link:
