Each year, ASU's Walter Cronktie School of Journalism and Mass Communication hosts a summer enrichment media camp, Camp Cronkite, so high school students can dive head-first into media. By day, Cronkite faculty, staff, and student guides lead campers in hands-on learning in our state-of-the-art building on ASU's Downtown Phoenix campus; then, campers enjoy scheduled evening programming and end the day retreating across the street to Gordon Commons, our residential hall, for supervised R&R.
At Camp Cronkite, high school students from across the country grow their media skills—and get a taste of college life! Future journalists, podcasters, influencers, and brand storytellers hone their skills at Camp Cronkite. Students develop techniques across platforms, report real stories, create portfolio-worthy content, and visit a Phoenix newsroom.
