[quote=Anonymous]Kind of different, but my kid did an outdoor adventure camp for 3 weeks every summer in high school. Lived in a tent, backpacked, rafted, all that. Big focus on community building. No need for us to include it in common app, so we didn't. Luckily enough, she had robust enough activities (including in summer) that it didn't leave a hole. That said, her main essay was about something that happened on one of the backpacks. There was nothing in the essay that wasn't truthful, but she just referred to trip as a group backpacking trip without specifically saying it was part of a camp experience we'd paid several thousand dollars for. Wasn't germane to the story. Essay was great & kid got into 7 or of 8 schools including a T10 but chose to attend a less intense land grant school for engineering and thrived, was a perfect fit. But I digress. Anyway, perhaps an essay topic will present itself from your kid's experience.[/quote]
