WRITING BOOT CAMP FOR RISING SENIORS 

 JULY 27-AUGUST 2, 2025 

(3 spots available)

 

Join us this summer in El Cuyo, Mexico to write your Common App personal statement.

Students will have 6 hours of private tutoring along with group writing activities and free time to perfect their essay. Each student will leave with a completed personal statement for college applications. 

Schedule includes morning yoga, mat pilates, or Barre. Students will have the opportunity to paddleboard, kayak, take beach walks, and lounge on the beach. Each day, there will be authentically prepared meals in house.* One night, students will dine at El Havenero, a local cafe, to experience the flavor of the small town of El Cuyo. 

An excursion is included. As a group, we will travel to the ruins of Ek Balam, take a dip in a freshwater sinkhole (Cenote), and visit the colonial city of Valladolid where we'll shop and enjoy a delicious lunch. 

The Teen Writing Bootcamp provides a unique opportunity to build writing skills students will take with them to college and throughout life.

* All meals are gluten free and dairy free, though there is dairy for those who would like to add. Vegetarian and Vegan can be accommodated.

TESTIMONIALS

I expected this trip to be very stressful; I thought we were going to be working for many hours a day and that I wouldn’t do well with writing. I was never a good writer, so I thought this trip wasn't for me, but I was actually shocked in my writing skills. Allison and Andrea were wonderful teachers with a great sense of humor. Writing with them just felt normal and I am so glad I got this opportunity. I felt we had the perfect amount of time to work on things. I loved the first day of writing prompts and how everyone opened up immediately. It was crazy how we were able to do a lot of work in just a few hours. That way, we were able to take a dip in the lake, hit up town, or just talk and get to know each other more. To me, this trip was just fucking fabulous. Next time, I would like more one on one time with Allison and Andrea, but other than that, it was an incredible way to spend my time in Guatemala!

—Maggie Meltzer

I expected this trip to be more of a serious writing activity with little to no free time, and I expected to leave with a completed essay. I thought that there was going to be lots of community service and little resources. In reality the trip had lots of free time that allowed me to get my writing done. I was allowed to do what I wanted when I wanted even if it wasn't what the group was doing. I had lots of fun and enjoyed the community service. I loved the house and the living situations though the bugs were annoying. I also finished my essay which was amazing. 

—Emma O’Connor

I chose to go on this trip because it seemed like a beautiful, relaxing vacation and a designated time for me to get my essay done. I would have otherwise procrastinated. I expected to struggle writing this essay. I didn’t think I’d be able to put my words into a story. In reality, it was a lot easier and more enjoyable than I thought it would be, because I had not only a lot of free time to think and write but also a perfect amount of time to actually write with the teachers. The workshop was also a lot more helpful than I thought it was going to be, because I didn’t even realize but the exercises were extremely helpful in my format of writing, finding my story, and getting group feedback to work with.

—Ella Jaffe   

When I came into this trip, I certainly didn’t expect to share my secret with everybody in the group. I thought I was simply sharing my essay with Andrea and Allison instead of expressing myself to everyone here. What I experienced the very first day was nothing like I had imagined. I did not even know before how vulnerable I really could be. I’m so grateful for the writing tips I’ve learned and the support I’ve received throughout this process. I loved the meals, getting to help out in the local community, and taking in the culture. I’ll forever remember the time I spent here even if it was only 7 days out of my whole life.

—Emily Olster
