The San Antonio College English Department hosted two Young Writers' Camps, June 25-29 and July 9-13, for high school students from the Good Samaritan Center's Modelo Program.
Taught by Teaching Consultants from the San Antonio Writing Project, the camp is designed to help these students compose college application essays and learn more about essay writing, said Lennie Irvin, Assistant Professor of English and Co-Director of the San Antonio Writing Project.
The Modelo Program recruits high school students to participate in development projects, which include mentoring younger children and providing preparation activities for entering college.
"We are excited about hosting the camps here at SAC," said Irvin, who added, "It not only provides appositive experience for these kids, but it also represents the growing partnership between SAC and the San Antonio Writing Project to serve our community."
