Camps
Readers, Writers, Storytellers
(Creative Writing Camp for the little folks)
~Rising 1st and 2nd Grades~
Focuses on creativity: creative writing, individual and collaborative storytelling, reading/reading discussion, poetry, thought-provoking journal work, and turning pictures into stories – an inspiring self-expression experience! This camp meets IN-PERSON.
Creative Writing Camp
~Rising 3rd Grades to College~
The creative writing camps continue to be the most popular camps with our students. Our workshop here is completely unlike classroom creative writing or any other creative writing program we are aware of locally; it is a true writing workshop, in which the kids not only quickly gain significant writing skills but learn also to talk to each other about their writing, developing insight and feedback skills, and truly learn to see themselves as writers. Kids will study major components of building a successful writing piece, beginning with idea generation and exploring development of character and conflict, and many writing voice strategies, such as imagery/descriptive writing, figurative language, diction/word choice, and authentic dialogue, and each session ends with a grand writing celebration during which writers share their work with their colleagues. The creative writing camps are as much about WRITING INSPIRATION as they are about the writing skills themselves. This camp is taught by Mark Price and meets IN-PERSON.
​
​
Essay & Grammar Review Boot Camp
~Rising 3rd to 9th Grade~
I hear so frequently from families that there is such a huge need for this academic writing camp, focused on essay writing (for the classroom and also for standardized tests such as the ISEE and the STAAR), as well as personal narrative/nonfiction writing, with a grammar review component (we are always surprised at how many students we find - even in upper-middle school - who are unable to label the most basic parts of speech. We will fix this!). This camp will include work on essay writing, personal narrative/short memoir, as well as a grammar review focused on elements such as parts of speech, punctuation, fragments and run-ons. This camp is taught by Star Han and meets IN-PERSON.
​
​
Love of Reading/Reading Passage Mastery Camp
~Rising 3rd to 8th Grade~
This year's reading camp will have two primary goals: the first, always, is helping kids develop as readers and thinkers through a love of reading, working in books they choose and want to read, as we spend time reading and discussing in our reading workshop literary elements such as character and conflict, mood and setting, and work to elevate our comprehension and inference skills. Our second focus for this camp, because reading passages are a critical part of student success in the private and public school environment (ISEE, ERB, STARR and so on), will be teaching strategies to more effectively and confidently navigate standardized reading passages. This camp meets IN-PERSON.
