Session I: The College Preparatory D.A.N.C.E Camp at Colgate University

The D.A.N.C.E camp prepares current female high school juniors and seniors for college. We primarily build writing and critical thinking skills in relation to five principles: Dance, Awareness, Nutrition, Creativity, and Empowerment. These five tenets at the college prep camp are designed to nurture collegiate skills and encourage participants to academically excel as creative, health conscious, and socially insightful college students. The five camp principles, which assemble the acronym D.A.N.C.E, are mutually reinforced by courses that make up a one-week residential summer program at Colgate University.

Session II: This session is designed to emphasize the aesthetic, cultural, and civic dimensions of dance within the context of the College Prep D.A.N.C.E camp philosophy. During this one-week camp session we will build a diverse movement vocabulary for campers by exposing them to West African, Modern, Ballet, Jazz, and Hip Hop dance styles. We will connect their dance lessons to discussions and activities that echo the College Prep D.A.N.C.E camp principles.

Young Writers' Workshop
August 6 - 10

The Young Writers' Workshop is an intensive one-week experience for middle and high school students who have a passion for writing. Full-day sessions on the Colgate campus (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily) provide a stimulating and supportive environment in which young writers can think, imagine and discover new ideas through the act of writing, and share those ideas with other talented writers.

Young writers work closely with published writers and poets, certified teachers and undergraduate mentors. Each day is devoted to a different genre of writing such as fiction, poetry, journalism, personal essay or graphic novel in two 75-minute workshops, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Recreation time each afternoon offers use of Colgate facilities such as the swimming pool and hiking trails to the young writers.
