EXTRA! EXTRA! A Journalism Summer Camp will be held at The National Stars and Stripes Museum and Library on June 19th to June 23, 2023 from 10 am to 4 pm each day.

Campers will be researching, investigating, interviewing, and participating in activities to publish a special summer camp edition of the Stars & Stripes to share the importance of reporting in documenting the wars that shaped our country's history. Activities will include calligraphy, quill pen writing, sending messages with a cipher, rifle drills, and more!

Each day will focus on a different era. We will be covering the Revolutionary War on Monday, the Civil War on Tuesday, World War 1 on Wednesday, World War 2 on Thursday, and the Vietnam War on Friday. 

This camp is open to children ages 8-13. The registration fee is $50. Registration includes all activities, an exclusive camp t-shirt, daily snacks, and lunch on Friday. Space is limited to 28 campers, so register early. Sign up online before June 7 at www.nssml.org/2023-summer-camp, call the Museum at 573-568-2055, or email them at info@nssml.org.
