Where Passion Meets Possibility
A Week of Creativity & Discovery
Every morning, participants in our liberal arts youth programs step into an environment buzzing with creativity and collaboration. The Collaboratory offers teens an opportunity to engage in hands-on learning under our award-winning faculty. At the Appleseed Writing Project, participants spend their days weaving stories, experimenting with new styles, and learning from experienced instructors who fuel their passion for words. Over in the Video Production Camp, future filmmakers dive into hands-on workshops, mastering camera angles, sound editing, and storytelling techniques. The week flies by as students push their creative limits and discover new realms of knowledge, gaining skills and confidence they never imagined and discovering firsthand the fun and excitement of a college campus!
