Journalism Camp 2026

Applications are now open for our two-week summer camp for high school students. Learn from professional journalists and have your story published!

Students interested in writing and reporting for the public good are invited to join us this July.

Yesterday’s news of journalists arrested for covering anti-ICE demonstrations is a deeply concerning issue for us at The Detroit Writing Room. Since 2020, we’ve trained high school students in interviewing, researching, storytelling and writing during our summer Journalism Camp.

We tell students that they have a First Amendment right as student journalists to report the truth and document stories about their communities, and we emphasize that journalists work to hold the government accountable for their actions.

We agree with the Society of Professional Journalists’ statement: “Journalists are not the story – they are the eyes and ears of the public. Arresting them for covering the news is a dangerous step toward eliminating government accountability and weakening democracy. A democracy cannot function when journalists face handcuffs for bearing witness.” 

The Detroit Writing Room was founded by a journalist, and the mission of our nonprofit arm Coaching Detroit Forward is to coach the next generation of writers, photographers and creatives. We want students to learn the fundamentals from professionals and carry on the important work of documenting our communities and capturing history. 

We are more proud than ever to announce that our Journalism Camp will be returning this summer, and over 30 local and national journalists will continue to share their expertise and skills with our youth.  

The Detroit Writing Room’s 2026 Journalism Camp in partnership with Coaching Detroit Forward and Planet Detroit will be held this July at Wayne State University’s Journalism Institute for Media Diversity. Students will learn from over 30 Detroit Writing Room coaches and award-winning journalists who have worked at publications from The New York Times to The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press. 

The camp provides an immersive experience that teaches high school students fundamental writing and reporting skills while focusing on issues impacting their peers and neighborhoods. Most importantly, they’ll receive the tools and confidence to write about issues that matter to them and their communities. With access to some of the top editors, journalists and photographers in Detroit, students also gain mentors who can guide them to future internship and job opportunities. 

We are excited to continue our partnership with Planet Detroit, a nonprofit news outlet that covers important stories about environmental, public health and social justice topics in Detroit. Each day, students will learn from journalists covering these beats and participate in interactive workshops and real-world reporting exercises.

Publication Opportunities:

Over the two weeks, students will report and write a story focused on an environmental, health or equity topic they choose. They will also be paired with an Editing Coach to receive feedback and one-on-one editing. On the last day, students will share their stories with the group.

Each student will have their article published online at www.planetdetroit.org and www.detroitwritingroom.com. Articles will also be printed in the 7th edition of Perspectives Magazine, an annual print publication produced by students in our journalism and photography camps. Student articles will also be entered for Society of Professional Journalist Detroit Awards.

Students Who Attend Will Receive:

  • A welcome package with writing supplies, T-shirt, water bottle, press pass and “A Newshound’s Guide to Student Journalism”
  • Daily lunch and snacks
  • Daily parking pass or rideshare transportation stipend
  • A certificate of completion
  • Copies of Perspectives Magazine
  • Invitations to a Perspectives Magazine Launch Party at Playground Detroit in November 2026
  • Free tickets to select Detroit Writing Room workshops and events throughout the year

A Bonus for the College Bound:

Our coaches also help write letters of recommendation for college, scholarships, internships and more! We’re proud to share our former students have been accepted to the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Wayne State University, Northwestern University, Howard University, Texas A&M University, University of Florida, Indiana University, Dartmouth College and other schools to study journalism, communications, English and more.

Camp Dates:
July 6-17, 2026
Weekdays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Location:
Wayne State University’s
Journalism Institute for Media Diversity 

Cost:
$599 total for 2 weeks

Scholarship Opportunities:
Students who attend a Detroit high school or live in Detroit can attend the camp free of charge. Scholarships are also available for students with financial need. 

These scholarships are made possible by www.coachingdetroitforward.org donors and sponsors, including www.kresge.org, www.automotivepressassociation.net and www.elcentralmedia.com.

The deadline to apply is May 1, 2026. Space is limited to 25 students, and admission is rolling.

Campamento de Periodismo 2026

Ya están abiertas las solicitudes para nuestro campamento de verano de dos semanas para estudiantes de preparatoria. ¡Aprende de periodistas profesionales y logra que tu historia sea publicada!

Invitamos a estudiantes interesados en la escritura y el periodismo al servicio del público a acompañarnos este mes de julio.

Las noticias recientes sobre periodistas arrestados por cubrir manifestaciones contra ICE son profundamente preocupantes para nosotros en The Detroit Writing Room. Desde 2020, hemos capacitado a estudiantes de preparatoria en entrevistas, investigación, narrativa y redacción a través de nuestro Campamento de Periodismo de verano.

Les enseñamos a los estudiantes que, como periodistas estudiantiles, tienen derechos bajo la Primera Enmienda para reportar la verdad y documentar las historias de sus comunidades. También enfatizamos que el periodismo sirve para exigir cuentas al gobierno por sus acciones.

Coincidimos con la declaración de la Society of Professional Journalists: “Los periodistas no son la noticia — son los ojos y oídos del público. Arrestarlos por cubrir la información es un paso peligroso hacia la eliminación de la rendición de cuentas del gobierno y el debilitamiento de la democracia. Una democracia no puede funcionar cuando los periodistas enfrentan esposas por dar testimonio.”

The Detroit Writing Room fue fundado por un periodista, y la misión de nuestra organización sin fines de lucro asociada, Coaching Detroit Forward, es formar a la próxima generación de escritores, fotógrafos y creativos. Queremos que los estudiantes aprendan los fundamentos de la mano de profesionales y continúen la importante labor de documentar nuestras comunidades y preservar la historia.

Hoy más que nunca nos enorgullece anunciar que nuestro Journalism Camp regresará este verano, y que más de 30 periodistas locales y nacionales compartirán su experiencia y habilidades con nuestra juventud.

El Campamento de Periodismo 2026 de The Detroit Writing Room, en alianza con Coaching Detroit Forward y Planet Detroit, se llevará a cabo este julio en el Journalism Institute for Media Diversity de Wayne State University. Los estudiantes aprenderán con más de 30 coaches de The Detroit Writing Room y periodistas galardonados que han trabajado en medios como The New York Times, The Detroit News y Detroit Free Press.

El campamento ofrece una experiencia inmersiva donde estudiantes de preparatoria aprenden habilidades fundamentales de escritura y reporteo, con enfoque en temas que impactan a sus compañeros y a sus barrios. Lo más importante es que reciben las herramientas y la confianza para escribir sobre los asuntos que les importan a ellos y a sus comunidades. Con acceso a algunos de los mejores editores, periodistas y fotógrafos de Detroit, también obtienen mentores que pueden guiarlos hacia futuras pasantías y oportunidades de trabajo.

Nos entusiasma continuar nuestra colaboración con Planet Detroit, un medio de noticias sin fines de lucro que cubre temas clave de medio ambiente, salud pública y justicia social en Detroit. Cada día, los estudiantes aprenderán con periodistas que cubren estas áreas y participarán en talleres interactivos y ejercicios de reporteo en situaciones reales.

Oportunidades de publicación:

Durante las dos semanas, los estudiantes investigarán y escribirán una historia sobre un tema ambiental, de salud o de equidad que ellos elijan. También trabajarán con un Editing Coach que les dará retroalimentación y edición personalizada. El último día, compartirán sus historias con el grupo.

Cada estudiante tendrá su artículo publicado en www.planetdetroit.org y www.detroitwritingroom.com. Los artículos también se imprimirán en la séptima edición de Perspectives Magazine, una publicación anual impresa producida por estudiantes de nuestros campamentos de periodismo y fotografía. Los artículos también serán inscritos para los premios de la Society of Professional Journalists Detroit.

Los estudiantes que participen recibirán:

  • Un paquete de bienvenida con materiales de escritura, camiseta, botella de agua, gafete de prensa y el libro “A Newshound’s Guide to Student Journalism”
  • Almuerzo y botanas todos los días
  • Pase diario de estacionamiento o apoyo económico para transporte tipo rideshare
  • Certificado de finalización
  • Copias de Perspectives Magazine
  • Invitaciones a la fiesta de lanzamiento de Perspectives Magazine en Playground Detroit en noviembre de 2026
  • Boletos gratuitos para ciertos talleres y eventos de The Detroit Writing Room durante el año

Un beneficio adicional para quienes van a la universidad:

Nuestros coaches también ayudan a redactar cartas de recomendación para solicitudes universitarias, becas, pasantías y más. Nos enorgullece compartir que exalumnos han sido aceptados en University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Wayne State University, Northwestern University, Howard University, Texas A&M University, University of Florida, Indiana University, Dartmouth College y otras instituciones para estudiar periodismo, comunicaciones, inglés y más.

Fechas del campamento:
6 al 17 de julio de 2026
Días de semana de 11 a.m. a 3 p.m.

Lugar:
Journalism Institute for Media Diversity de Wayne State University

Costo:
$599 en total por 2 semanas

Oportunidades de beca:
Los estudiantes que asisten a una preparatoria en Detroit o viven en Detroit pueden asistir sin costo. También hay becas disponibles para estudiantes con necesidad económica.

Estas becas son posibles gracias a los donantes y patrocinadores de www.coachingdetroitforward.org, incluyendo www.kresge.org, www.automotivepressassociation.net y www.elcentralmedia.com.

La fecha límite para solicitar es el 1 de mayo de 2026. El cupo está limitado a 25 estudiantes y la admisión es continua.
