The Summer Program offers intensive writing workshops for students 9-18 years of age. Students enroll according to age. Two-week workshops focusing on fiction, on screen writing, and on poetry are part of the core curriculum.

At Idyllwild, we’re here to educate the whole you—the artist and the scholar. So that means every weekday morning, starting at 8:00 AM, you’ll be taking a range of academic coursework. Our academic curriculum provides a strong college-preparatory program, challenging you to think critically, to creatively blend your intellectual and artistic perspectives, and to discover a passion for life-long learning. As a result, our graduates are well prepared to enter the leading colleges and universities—as they often do.
