▌ Editor's read The Kenyon Review Young Writers Workshop is a hybrid program offering both residential and online creative writing workshops for high school students. The program is run by the Kenyon Review, an internationally recognized literary magazine, and is affiliated with Kenyon College. While there is no specific 'About Us' page detailing the camp's founding or years of operation, the Kenyon Review itself has a long history, founded in 1939. The website mentions a 'dedicated staff' and 'experienced instructors' but does not provide specific staff-to-camper ratios or details on background checks. Google reviews for 'Kenyon Review Young Writers Workshop' are not readily available as a distinct entity, but reviews for Kenyon College generally reflect a positive academic environment. The program is not accredited by the ACA, and no state licensing information for Ohio summer camps was found on the website. Social media handles for the Kenyon Review are @kenyonreview on Instagram and 'kenyonreview' on Facebook.

Who thrives here Ages 16–18

Kenyon Review Young Writers Workshop serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in academic, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.
