Sponsored by the University of California (UC Berkeley), the Bay Area Writing Project is on a mission to make writers out of every student. The camp has writing programs for different age grades, allowing students to explore the art of writing at a pace that matches their abilities.

Its suitable for students entering grades 3 to 9th grade. Even beginners can learn how to write and build their skills over time. Participants receive detailed writing instruction from professional tutors and practice writing for extended periods. They also have flexible assignments and share their writings with peers for feedback.

The Bay Area Project also offers High School Writing Courses for high school students in grades 9-12. Some of these programs combine different forms of writing, while others focus on a specific area. Camp duration varies: certain camps last one week, while others last for four weeks.

The High School Writing Courses can help your child proceed onto the next stage in writing practice. They can explore niche interests in writing, not to mention the high-level training and feedback from course instructors. It's a fantastic program for kids in the San Francisco Bay Area.
