College Essay Camp

During this camp, students will have the opportunity to begin working on their college applications and essays. We will spend time creating your child’s Common App account, drafting and revising essays, and understanding how the admissions process works. By the conclusion of the camp, your child will have a head start on his college applications.  All essays will be reviewed by current college admission professionals.

This camp is open to all rising Seniors from Catholic High Schools in Louisville and is perfect for students who are applying to institutions that require essays.
