BY BRUCE MILLS [email protected]

Instructional summer camps are al- ways educational, but University of South Carolina Sumter’s “Mock Trial” camp last week offered a twist with the opportunity for students to ex- plore the inner workings of the court system by playing out various roles. USC Sumter political science profes- sor Damien Picariello administered the first-time camp to 18 students, ages 9 to 14. The camp was part of the college’s expanded summer day camp series in late June that offered four in- structional options. The “Mock Trial” Camp and the history camp, “From Sumter to Appomattox,” were new this year. On Friday, the students played roles in a case of a father and son suing the son’s school district, alleging the dis- trict and a middle-school teacher were negligent and responsible after the son badly injured his hand while dem- onstrating his volcano science project (made by the two of them with real firecracker powder) to his classmates at a bus stop.
