Our college essay writing camp will help your college-bound senior get their essay done early, easily and (relatively) painlessly, while they learn valuable writing skills to boot!
100% of last year’s campers completed a draft of their essay in our concentrated essay-writing bootcamp format where we brainstorm topics, learn how to write compelling introductions, bring stories to life with vivid detail, and follow a narrative arc to tell your story effectively. 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.
Some of 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.
This course will
- Provide students the structure, guidance and schedule to complete a rough draft of their college essay
- Help students brainstorm creatively about a college essay topic.
- Use dynamic exercises and an interactive workshop structure to teach writing skills such as effective introductions, description, and narrative structure
- Provide supportive, constructive feedback to each individual student
- Provide a handbook with models, tips and reference tools that students can keep as a writing resource
Enrollment Cap: 12 Students
