Rhode Island Write on Sports

RI Write on sports news!

Rhode Island Write on Sports went virtual in 2020, continuing our growth and adaptability in our program, which started with 8 students from Central Falls in our first camp, at Calcutt Middle School, 2014.

In 2019, our sixth year, RIWoS served 59 students from Central Falls, Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Providence, Cranston, Cumberland, Johnston and E. Providence.

For our seventh year, RIWoS was unable to hold in-person camps because of the pandemic, so we went online, offering our first-ever Virtual Camp,
held every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in July.

We had 25 students, including RIWoS alumni! The camp's success has us thinking about offering Virtual After-School Programs, another step forward for our non-profit organization!

Rhode Island
Write on Sports
is a non-profit organization providing free
two-week summer sports writing camps for
under-served middle school students.

THE RIWoS MISSION

The middle school years are critical times for students, who must attain valuable skills to determine a future path of academic success and growth, and to ensure success on the 8th grade standardized tests.

By strengthening communication, perceptual, and intellectual proficiencies, the Rhode Island Write on Sports program provides a set of skills that can be applied to academic areas beyond sports writing.

The camp follows a detailed curriculum. Students write their own in-depth sports-related feature stories, collaborate to create sports-related videos, participate in model interview sessions, and go on a field trip. Students are guided by an experienced staff. The stories are published in a booklet.
