Who makes history? Why do they do it? Rising sixth through twelfth grade CWA students are invited to attend the first History Camp to find out how ordinary people do extraordinary things and change the history of art, business, civics, education, entertainment, law, media, medicine, military, music, politics, religion, science, sports or style. There are no fees, but enrollment is limited to the first 20 students.

Students will focus on the role individuals play in changing the course of history while developing their historical research, analysis, interpretation and presentation skills. At the end of camp, students may choose to continue working on their projects and enter the 2009 National History Day competition. This will be a very hands-on, research oriented program – it’s not summer school, it’s camp!

CWA’s 2008 History Camp, “The Individual in History,” will be held on campus July 7-10 from 10am to 2pm. To register or if you have questions please contact:
