A summer program for high school journalists

Cherubs is more than a journalism camp. From high schools around the world, we come to Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism in Evanston, Illinois, to immerse ourselves in media for five weeks. We study writing, reporting and editing for print, digital and broadcast, and we make friends we’ll have forever. As our teachers say, “Welcome to the best summer of your life.”
