Summer Writing Camp: Short Stories & Essays (Self-Paced)

Are you looking for a summer writing class that keeps your child engaged without overwhelming them?

In this self-paced course, students read high-interest short stories and complete structured writing assignments that build real skills. Instead of rushing through weekly essays, learners focus on one writing task at a time, with clear guidance and opportunities to revise and improve.

Students will explore stories like The Gift of the Magi, The Necklace, and The Lottery, then apply what they’ve learned through definition, compare and contrast, persuasive, and literary analysis writing. Each assignment is broken down step by step so students feel supported and confident.

Perfect for middle and high school learners; this class helps students strengthen their writing, stay consistent over the summer, and walk away with completed work they can feel proud of.

Video lessons are short and focused to keep learners engaged. Graphic organizers and outlines guide each step of the writing process. While students only need to read the short stories, full literacy units are included for extra support and deeper understanding.
