College Essays and Applications Camp
July 8th– 12th
For girls and boys going into their junior or senior year
Camp Description
In this week-long class, students will receive formal instruction on how to brainstorm, plan, organize and write essays based on the Common Application prompts. We will discuss the types of essays that have worked for students in the past; then students will use the processes we have discussed to compose and edit their own essays while conferring with the teacher along the way. If time allows, we will also start preparing student resumes for college applications. Product: By the end of the week, students should have 1 – 2 completed essays and a work-in-progress resume.
