... where imagination meets a one week adventure for students who like to write.
With the guidance of trained writing teachers, learn the basics of writing creatively in a fun atmosphere of support and encouragement. One on one consulting accompanies group feedback. This writing camp is an enrichment opportunity for students who like to write and share their work with other writers. Our week is designed to allow students to take a few in-depth classes, while giving students the opportunity to focus precisely on what they want. They choose their own daily schedule to meet their needs. Classes for rising grades 6 to 9 are cross-age and limited in size. Students choose two of three classes daily. Classes include Beginning Creative Writing with Story Elements, Fantasy, Fiction from Personal Experience, Graphic Fiction and Non- Fiction, the One Week Novel Start, Poetry, Screen Writing, Story Telling, Horror with Humor, Designing a Children’s Book, and Cookbook Memoir to name a few.

Finding Your Voice: Writing the Essay (10th - 12th graders)... for young adults looking to get a head start on the Early Action applications due on November 1!
"Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose all track of time…” or "Describe a problem you've solved or a problem you'd like to solve...." These are the openings from two of this year’s seven Common Application Essay Prompts. Such vague, broad writing directives can strike fear into the hearts of teens and adults alike! In this workshop, high-school students will be guided through the process of tackling and deciphering prompts and writing a compelling personal essay for admission to college, competitive programs, awards and scholarships. Students will learn how to use writing to develop a comprehensive application that reflects students’ academic and personal strengths. This workshop will consist of a two-hour group seminar, a two-hour small group session, and a 45-minute, private, one-on-one session.
This workshop is designed for rising 12th graders who are currently going through the college application process or for rising 10th and 11th graders who want to complete a solid draft of a personal essay for scholarships or admissions to other competitive summer programs.
