Patrick Henry College in Purcellville hosts its annual teen summer camps for students 14-18 years old. Camps are held on a weekly basis where students come from other areas of the world to participate in classes such as Strategic Intelligence, Constitutional Law, Leadership & Worldview, Literature & History, Moot Court, Entrepreneurship & Economics, Debate, and Multi-Media Journalism. Our very own Mr. Fernandez will be the instructor for the speech and drama camps. For more information, you can go to the PHC website at www.phc.edu and click on "Teen Camps."
