Summer 2025 Essay Boot Camps
Dates: In Boise May 28, May 29, June 4, August 6, and in McCall in early June TBD
High school students from around the country look fairly similar on paper. Grades, activities, and interests can blur together in the college application pool. Admissions officers rely on student writing to get to know each applicant and choose a class who will thrive at their university. At our summer essay boot camps, we help students discover their own best stories to help them convey their motivations, strengths, and background context. In turn, college application readers get a more complete picture of the student, well beyond the data presented in their application. Cost for this camp is $150 and we welcome requests for need-based scholarships. Attending one of our essay camp in the summer gives students the confidence to get a good start on their applications before the crush of senior year. Each class size is limited to 20 students.
