Based on the popular social media series “Humans of New York,” this camp will delve into the real stories of everyday Oak Parkers. We will visit several different downtown Oak Park areas to spontaneously interview locals, as well as arrange conversations with community leaders. Incorporating interview skills, photography, writing, design and editing, we’ll produce a blog to highlight the stories of our community.
