The cost for a one-week session is $125; the full-day cost is $225.
Scholarships are available for families of deserving young writers interested in attending the camp for whom financial assistance is a necessity. Students must send completed camp and scholarship applications along with a writing sample to the address listed on the camp application.
Tuition includes all materials and snacks, and enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. The registration deadline is June 3; scholarship applications are due May 27.

Founded in 2006, SAWP is part of the National Writing Project with more than 200 sites across the United States. It is designed to have teachers teaching best practice writing to each other. Students in classes of the writing project teachers consistently score higher on their writing exams.
