Open to rising sixth through eighth grade students, the Extreme Journey Middle School Summer Camp takes kids on a high-tech field trip to explore the region known as Where America Happened.

Hiking, biking, paddling, role playing, and movie making -- all are part of the two-week Extreme Journey. Students visit critically important historical sites from Gettysburg to Monticello, where they view life through a different lens and get the inside scoop from the experts.

Archaeologists, Park Rangers, reenactors as well as multimedia specialists share their passion and expertise, taking students back in time, into the mind set of men and women during a crucial time in our nation’s history.

Students evaluate the roles of former leaders as well as everyday men to understand the complexities of their lives and then create original Vodcasts depicting the student’s interpretation of the times.
