Write on Sports Monmouth
Home » Locations » New Jersey » Monmouth, Ocean » Monmouth University
Eligible students must live in Monmouth or Ocean counties.
Write on Sports uses the theme of sports as a way to connect with students in an authentic and meaningful way. During camp, we turn the students into sports writers to strengthen their writing and literacy skills. Students pick a theme of their choice (related to sports) and identify a project including a feature article or fiction story. They will also work on a multimedia project, either a video or a podcast episode. Another feature of camp is the Guest Days; bringing in professional journalists (from TV, radio and print media outlets) and athletes (ranging from college, professional and retired professionals). We include a sports related field trip.
The Write on Sports Monmouth program is located at Monmouth University, serving students in Monmouth and Ocean counties. This location has limited space per session.

“For me, it was an honor just to go to Monmouth (University Write on Sports camp) and have an opportunity to sit on one of the sessions with the students, be able to be interviewed by the students as well as a radio person and to get a true feel for what they are accomplishing. It was absolutely a great day for me”
Hubie Brown, former NBA coach and current NBA broadcaster
