About Comp Camp

At Comp Camp, students:

  • improve their writing skills,
  • meet new friends,
  • become published authors, and
  • celebrate their accomplishments with friends and family!

Students learn from experienced and effective classroom teachers and have access to computers at Ball State University. They participate in a creative workshop experience writing stories, poems, and essays taking a close look at the power of word choice, voice, organization, sentence fluency, organization, and presentation. Students develop their writing skills as they spend time immersed in the writing process and receive personalized feedback through participation in peer response groups, teacher conferences and author’s chair.

Comp Camp workshops are offered ten Saturday sessions during Spring semester (Feb.-April), two weeks in the summer (June/July), and ten Saturday sessions during the Fall semester (Sept.-Dec.).
