I've found past threads about creative writing workshops, but no thread was very recent. My daughter is looking at Denison's Reynolds Young Writers Workshop and we'd appreciate feedback as soon as possible from anyone who has attended in the past few years or from parents of high schoolers who attended.
What did you get out of it? Who did the teaching -- graduate students, professors, guest teachers, professional writers? The program is only eight days long; did you feel that the shorter time frame (compared to other summer workshops) meant the workshop was focused and got a lot done, or did you really need more time? Does the workshop tend to devote more time to or be stronger in one particular genre, or do instructors tend to steer students toward particular genres? How was the living situation at Denison, and were students well supervised? Any other details welcome.
For folks who know about writing workshops: Kenyon or Iowa etc. would be great, but the Denison workshop is the only one that fits into my daughter's summer schedule, so I'd really like to hear specifics about that one.
