This camp offers students the time and space to draft their college essay, while teaching writing skills that are essential for a strong personal statement: vivid, detail, structuring a narrative arc, creating compelling introductions, and crafting and editing sentences for efficiency and concision.
Students who are daunted by the idea of writing the college essay will find encouragement, guidance and camaraderie in our group workshop–and hopefully have some fun too! Our recent grads have a history of acceptance to schools such as Yale, Penn, NYU, UNC, Colorado College, Oberlin, Washington University, Bowdoin and a long list of other great schools.
The best part? The skills learned in this class will translate into other areas of writing, making your student a better writer overall!

- Provide students the structure, guidance and schedule to complete a rough draft of their college essay
