How much does it cost?
The cost for the week is $225. If financial constraints would prevent you from attending the program, please apply for our need-based scholarship.
Does my child need to bring lunch?
Your child will need to bring a sack lunch. We will have daily snacks and pizza on Friday, but they will need to bring lunch Monday - Thursday.
What will my child be doing?
Your child will be involved in a variety of play-based writing experiences. They will explore various play stations, participate in community-building activities, and engage in multi-genre writing.
What does a typical day look like?
A typical day includes time to explore stations and writing through play, a genre specific mini lesson, working with a small group to build community, and optional writing share.
What if my kid doesn’t like to write?
Loving writing is NOT a prerequisite for participating. The play-based nature of the experience, community building activities, and identity exercises will encourage your child to take risks and see writing as something that is fun and accessible.
