Bristol Senior High School History and Culture Camp

Students from Bristol High School had the oppor­tu­ni­ty to attend a one week “History and Culture Camp” spon­sored by the 21st CCLC and the AOC (Academic Oversight Committee). The camp, held the sec­ond week of July, has a mis­sion to expose stu­dents to var­i­ous sights around Bucks County and Philadelphia that are of sig­nif­i­cant his­tor­i­cal and cul­tur­al impor­tance. The sights also have a con­nec­tion with his­to­ry that the stu­dents have stud­ied or will study in their time at Bristol High School.
