The writing sessions of the camp concentrate on intensive practice in the development and expression of ideas.

Instruction in spelling, grammar, punctuation, and other basics of language usage is provided on an individual basis as needed, but not as an objective of the program. Students at all grade levels use computers extensively in the composition process, but they do not need prior experience with computers to do well in the program.
