Composition Summer Camp/Program

I'm currently a junior in high school and I'm almost certain I want to follow composition into college, I would like to attend some sort of camp or workshop or something this summer to get some clearcut advice and study in a foreign place. So far I've looked at Interlochen and Oberlin for there summer programs but I'm not so sure I want to go for 6 weeks (I'll miss a lot of marching band type things that could put a hamper on my leadership role). Also, I live in Columbus, Ohio but I'm willing to travel; something cheap or with lots of assistance would be nice but not necessary.

Thanks for the advice,

Jimmie

Hi. If you really want to pursue on your goal, I suggest you stick to it. The decision fairly lies in you. You should be ready to take the risk so as to meet your goals. You said, you'd like to attend some summer camp or workshop and study in a foreign place. You're also willing to travel. You did have a prospect of schools but you're not so sure if you really want to go since you will miss something. At first yes, it's hard when you think of what you will miss. But when you directly focus on something probably a goal that you really want to achieve, you can come up to a decision by taking that chance. Don't let the opportunity passes by. Take the risk and you see that it's worth risking for. At least you tried. But if you're really afraid in taking chances, then you might as well look in your place for summer camp program that offers what you like to do. I bet there are schools that offer such program. Good luck.
