About Our Summer Camp:
The Shirley Povich Center for Sports Journalism has scheduled a week-long journalism summer camp that aims to provide learning tools and inspiration to high school students interested in sports media. Leading members of the Washington and Baltimore sports media community have made this camp possible, offering guidance and participation for the event, which will be held at the University of Maryland’s Philip Merrill College of Journalism July 17 - 21.
For nine years, the Povich Center has planned and operated an increasingly popular day-long workshop for local high school students. With that experience, the Center has expanded the one-day workshop to a week-long program that will immerse 50 students in sports journalism. Students will be taught tenets of basic journalism writing, as well as other sports journalism skills that include writing a game story and covering a press conference. They’ll also learn about AP style, sports broadcasting techniques, interviewing and how to find a job or internship. Journalism faculty, along with sports reporters, writers and broadcasters from around the region, will teach sessions.
