Summer camps target young writers
The Area 3 Writing Project will host several Young Writers’ Camps this summer for students entering grades 3-12 in the fall. Three types of camps are offered:
* Young Writers Camp, for students entering grades 3-12. The camp, designed for students who love to write, includes daily writing workshops, journaling, direct instruction on specific writing styles and genres, and activities and projects that encourage creativity.
• Writing Strategies Camp, for students entering grades 6-8. The camp is designed for students who enjoy school and want a boost with their basic writing skills. It includes daily writing workshops, activities to develop higher-level vocabulary and direct instruction to improve sentence, paragraph and essay structure.
• Writing the Personal Statement, for students entering grades 11-12. This camp focuses on the essay required for college admission. A follow-up Saturday in the fall is included so students can finish their essays before college admission deadlines.
Tuition is $250 for 10-day camps at UC Davis, $150 for five-day camps at UCD or Cosumnes River College or $150 for the five-day Writing the Personal Statement camp at UCD.
