<p>I recently read about a summer camp at UVA…I think it’s called Leadership on the Lawn or something like that. Does anyone know anything about this?</p>
<p>UVa offers several summer camps. </p>
<p>Here is a link to Leadership on the Lawn:</p>

<p>UVa Sumer Enrichment Program (SEP) is also a great program. The date for application is past, however for future reference here’s the link:</p>

<p>The Introduction to Engineering (ITE) summer program is still accepting applications:</p>

<p>The Sumer Language Institute is also still open to applications:</p>

<p>And the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership:</p>

<p>I am sure there are others, but these are the ones I know off the top of my head. If you are interested you’ll want to get moving on the applications. Several require a transcript and LOR. Not hard to do, you simply need to allow time to get all your documents in order. It is worth the effort! :)</p>
<p>There are a good number of summer programs listed here:</p>
<p>[U.Va</a>. Programs & Activities for Kids](<a href=“http://www.virginia.edu/uvakids/programs/index.html]U.Va”>http://www.virginia.edu/uvakids/programs/index.html)</p>
<p>The UVA Young Writer’s Workshop is a fantastic program, but unfortunately with all the construction this summer on campus, the program is not going to resume until next summer :(. The application deadline is March 1 --highly recommend it for kids interested in poetry writing, fiction, songwriting, and playwriting. The experience was life-changing for my son (he went two years). YWW is through Curry School of Education as well.</p>
<p>Thanks! :)</p>

<p>@jkwmom Young Writers Workshop is definitely awesome. The students seem really inspired by the creative environment.</p>
<p>My daughter did it last summer. She loved it. Nice kids, interesting topics, a chance to experience college life. They did quite a lot. PM me if you’re interested in more. Most kids were between junior and senior year.</p>
