We request that each child bring a snack and drink to camp each day (no nut products
please!). We provide pencils, journals, and all other supplies that your child will
use in class.
We cannot guarantee placement with a friend; we group children by age/grade level.
No, there is no specific homework. Students will begin many pieces in their writer’s
notebook, and are encouraged to continue writing outside of class. If your child wants
to participate in the Anthology Cover Contest, the drawing is to be completed at home.
No. Our classes are grouped by grade level. Our classes are small, and the teachers
are prepared to teach students of different ability levels.
Our camps are designed as a two-week program with 30 hours of instruction. We discourage
children from attending less than the full program, and do not adjust the tuition
for those who cannot attend for the full time.
No, we request that children be dropped off and picked up promptly at the designated
times.
The West Chester Writing Project does not offer any scholarships.
This is a summer camp, not remediation. Our camp is designed for students to have
fun with reading and writing.
Our classes are small, and our teachers are encouraged to individualize the program
to reach all ability levels.
Yes, we provide a break about half way through the day when children can enjoy a snack,
relax with their teacher and classmates, and go outside if weather permits.
Because our camps are relatively short, we do not permit parents to observe in the
classroom. However, we have an Open House on the last day of camp when parents are
encouraged to visit their child’s classroom and see what they have done.
No. Registration is not complete until full payment is received.
We limit the number of students in each class. If the class you register for is full,
(for example a special themed class) you can register for the general camp session
for that grade level.
Once you register, you get an email; once you PAY, you get another email that includes
a receipt. Save that for accounting purposes.
If your child is out for an illness or other activity, we do not have make-up days
or provide refunds.
