Success After Waterford IX-XII

$310
Week 6 — July 27–31

About this camp

Created specifically with Waterford Upper Schoolers in mind, this camp helps prepare students for independence beyond Waterford’s 42 beautiful acres. How do you take public transit, get an apartment, make a meal, apply for a job or pay taxes? What is an interest rate? What is fabric softener? What is a lug nut? We cover the basics through hands-on learning, perfect for high schoolers ready to fly. Please note, part of this camp will take field trips off campus.

They know about writing and they understand what makes an effective college essay. You can come out with a strong, interesting first draft of your main college essay before school begins. This will not be a formulaic, one-size-fits-all approach. We will help you craft a topic that shows your own unique background and voice. For the class of 2027 only, please.
