Young Writer’s Camp
The San Diego Area Writing Project offers a variety of opportunities for students to grow and build self-confidence in their writing abilities. Our summer Young Writers’ Camp (YWC) programs range from creative writing to improving analytic writing and writing the college admission essay.
Teachers working with San Diego Area Writing Project share the belief that writing is a process. Young Writers’ Camp engages students in that process and allows them to discover their own style, voice and potential. Our goal is that each young writer, regardless of skill level, has the time and space to experiment in a variety of genres while developing creativity and confidence.
“My daughter absolutely loved this camp. The positive encouragement, new friendships and creativity she found has sparked a fondness for writing that did not exist before.”
“My son loved your camp! You have a great, enthusiastic staff and a super program. The works he created and brought home blew us away! I’m really proud of him and what he accomplished during your program. We are looking forward to doing it again next year.”
“Initially, I thought she would be bored out of her mind. Every day when I picked her up she was happy and full of energy. I believe the creative writing experience positively impacted my child’s mind.”
“He had a blast! The first day he was excited to inform me that ‘this is different from school and it is really cool.’ And I saw him working on his writing after camp at home–during the summer–that shows how engaged he was! Thank you for such a wonderful experience.”

SDAWP’s COPPA Statement
SDAWP and YWC cares about your child’s privacy and safety. View COPPA Statement (Word file).
The San Diego Area Writing Project at UCSD recognizes that writing is a catalyst for the broad expression of ideas and opinions. We consider written expression by participants in our programs to be an opportunity for further dialogue and discussion. Teachers facilitating our programs make every effort to provide an environment that allows for all opinions and ideas to be shared, within the context of appropriate audience.

Summer
Language Arts
In this fun, energetic course designed for students entering grade 3 or 4, students build their reading and writing
skills by studying the works of picture book masters. Each day in class, students will read and discuss a picture book
addressing an advanced Language Arts topic. Then it’s time for them to try their hand at writing with a unique
assignment based on the topic of the day. In the final days of the course, students will have the chance to apply what
they’ve learned as they write and illustrate a picture book of their very own.
Some topics covered in this course include:
- Narrators
- Story Problems
- Anthropomorphism
- Hero’s Journey
Each lesson includes a balance of lively discussion, independent writing time, and games to get the creative juices
flowing!
Note: To ensure students have the best experience, it is recommended that they do not read the course texts before class starts.
This two-week course meets Monday through Friday for three hours each day.
Space is very limited for our summer programs. Please do not wait until the last minute to enroll.
If there are more than two weeks before the course starts, a $200 deposit will be due when enrolling, with the balance
due two weeks before the course begins.

General coaching classes at many academic training centers stress repetition of the concept until a student grasps it thoroughly. At AoPS Academy, they go far beyond repetition. Their highly qualified instructors do a great job at teaching fundamental concepts to students at much greater depth, and challenge them to walk that extra mile by presenting them with more complex problems to solve. It provides a great learning experience in a friendly, fun, yet competitive and challenging environment. They provide their students with a combination of excellent instructional curriculum along with amazing online tools. AoPS Academy also encourages students to take part in various competitions. Overall they do an incredible job imparting a deep knowledge of both math and language arts to all of their students, and AoPS Academy sets them on a path towards their career goals. We are happy to be part of AoPS Academy family!
