iCAMP Academy
Are you a Philadelphia high school junior or senior with a passion for social justice through media? Join us as a media developer-in-residence at WCU for an exciting week!
iCamp is a free media academy held at West Chester University. We invite high school juniors and rising seniors from the Philadelphia School District to join us in making media that matters. We produce films, games, podcasts & audio, and web sites, for youth and by youth whose passion is to effect social change.
Learn new skills. Make new friends. Live in a college dorm. Work on challenging and fun projects. Craft media that represents your voice and your perspective. No prior experience necessary!
