[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always wondered about the Northern Virginia Writing project....  I hope someone can provide a review of the program.[/quote]

Our daughter (now 14) has done the Northern Va. Writing Project student summer camp for the past three years; not doing it this year only because of another commitment or she'd be doing it again....She has loved it and enjoyed the instructors very much. The kids do different workshops each day and have writing prompts each day and more.

OP, check it out online. Lots of detail on their web site. See if it's what your teen would like.
It's run by George Mason University and the camp itself is known as the [b]Student Summer Institute [/b]or SSI. Here's the web site:

The web site as of today shows that they are still accepting applications for the camp, which is a day camp the weeks of July 6-17 this year at the GMU campus. My daughter could never make the second week of camp but SSI let her do just the first week (when most of the writing is done, with the second week spent more on editing) so they are very flexible and have always been very nice as well. My daughter enjoys writing anyway but the camp (and the NVWP's Young Writers Project which does half-day, one-off Saturday workshops during the school year) have done a lot to make her like it even more!
