College application essay camps

After finding this CollegeConfidential thread, I read a little more about college application camps.  Here are a few examples.
A fun, invigorating, and productive week for high school juniors and those getting ready to apply to college….
Over the course of the week, you'll brainstorm topics and ideas, write first drafts and incorporate feedback to write a second or third draft. By Friday, you'll have met the challenge of writing your essays, leaving you and your family to concentrate on other college decisions. Craft these pieces this summer and avoid first-semester anxiety as admissions deadlines loom.
