Generation JoshuaMarch 11, 2025  Dear parents of high school students,Imagine a summer camp where teens don’t just learn about government—they run it. For an entire week.That’s iGovern.If that sounds a bit . . . well . . . crazy, we agree—but only in the best way possible. “What if we built a functioning model of the US Government, political processes, and press organizations?”

“Oh—and threw in high-stakes international diplomacy and global crises?”

“Yes! And what if a dramatic story unfolded in real time, shaped by the students’ decisions?”
These are the conversations HSLDA’s Generation Joshua team has been having since launching iGovern in 2008—all because we believe the best learning isn’t dry and stuffy. It’s immersive, exhilarating, and unforgettable.At iGovern, the politics is pretend, but the adrenaline (and the confidence gained) is real.REGISTER FOR iGOVERN 2025 ›Teens come in with varying levels of knowledge and, after a week of immersive, multisensory learning, they leave with an empowering understanding of how their country works and how they can engage the process effectively for good.Here are the dates and locations for this summer:iGovern East: July 13–19 at Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, VA. (This is our domestic policy iGovern experience. Think House and Senate, presidential primaries and elections, and the press!)
 iGovern Statecraft: July 20–26 at Patrick Henry College in Purcellville, VA. (This is our international policy iGovern experience. Think the executive branch, the United Nations, international espionage, and diplomacy!)HSLDA members save $50 on every iGovern registration by using the code HSLDA2025.
