About this event

Dive into history, literature, and social science to explore how individuals and communities shape society. Students will investigate historical events and social issues, analyze primary sources, and learn how psychology, social work, and civic responsibility intersect with everyday life. Through hands-on projects and creative storytelling, participants will develop critical thinking skills while reflecting on their role as engaged citizens. The camp culminates in a showcase where students present solutions, stories, or initiatives inspired by real-world civic challenges.
