Want even more experience in the journalism world?
The Alabama Scholastic Press Association invites middle and high school students (grades 6-12) to attend its summer journalism camp, The Long Weekend, on campus in June. Students can attend with or without their media staffs and advisers.
The cost for the weekend is $170, which includes room and board, tuition and all meals.
The camp is designed to teach creative and efficient ways to communicate through scholastic newspapers, news, magazines, yearbooks, literary magazines, broadcast programs and digital media. It allows students to enjoy a taste of college life and invigorate their interest in scholastic media.
