Five-Paragraph Essay Camp

The five-paragraph essay is the foundation of school writing. In this two-week camp learners practise each part in turn, from thesis and introduction to body paragraphs and conclusion.

They build one complete essay across the camp, with feedback after every session, and finish confident they can tackle essay assignments at school.

How classes work

Camp meets on back-to-back days. Each day builds on the last, mixing short demos, hands-on work and time to share progress, so learners finish the week with a complete project.

What we'll cover

• Day 1: Thesis Statements – Write a clear thesis with three supporting points.

• Day 2: Introductions – Write an engaging introduction that leads to the thesis.
