Life Skills Center of Cincinnati student Janischcia Cottingham will be attending Camp Journey to Freedom, July 8-22.
The camp is a Congressional Academy for History and Civics Education funded by the United States Department of Education.
It's free for 40 high school students.
Participants will live for two weeks at Camp Campbell Gard, a 600-acre YMCA adventure camp located on the Great Miami River.
They will take part in educational and outdoor activities and will receive instruction in American history and government at the Miami University Hamilton campus.
Campers will also travel to former plantations in Kentucky, to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati, and to the Abraham Lincoln museum in Springfield, Illinois.
They will be given digital cameras to record their experiences and will then share their experiences and thoughts on the Internet through podcasts and blogs.
All participants who successfully complete the camp will also receive a $500 scholarship to the college of their choice.
The information about this camp was given to our students by Danielle Battle, LSC Cincinnati teacher.
Students had to apply and be selected in order to participate.
