In this camp, you will be the cub reporter! Using games, puzzles, videos, reading and writing activities, and group discussions, we will uncover how a newspaper is put together and printed. A look at how news is gathered, who decides what stories get printed, why there are so many ads, how journalists write, and what makes a good editorial cartoon will be covered. A tour of the offices and presses of the Harrisburg Patriot-News will be included. * Day Camp *
