Writing From The Ground Up (A Structured Writing Camp)

This Writing Camp is Hosted by Strategies for Learning in Collaboration with Pen to Pathway.

In this small-group writing camp, we use a structured step-by-step approach that starts at the sentence level so any student, regardless of ability, can grow in their writing. From the sentence, we move to a single paragraph, and finally, a full-length essay. With our clear, explicit instructions, we are so excited to empower your child to enter the school year feeling confident and excited about the road ahead.
