Welcome to an unforgettable summer experience - Hollinsummer, an inspiring pre-college program exclusively for girls. Open to young women with varied interests ranging from creative writing and environmental science, to acting, riding, and even social justice, Hollinsummer encourages participants to expand their horizons and delve deep into their passions. With its Creative Writing Intensive, writers find solace in a supportive community. Aspiring authors receive guidance to hone their fiction, poetry, and narrative skills, all the while engaging in enriching writer's workshops and interacting with visiting authors for a sneak peek into the world of literature. The Social Justice Seminar, titled 'Spirit of the Law', invites change-makers who aim to better society.

Budding performers get to master their craft at the renowned Hollins Theatre Institute. The flourishing theatre and vocal performance skills of participants take center stage in this immersive experience. But no summer feels complete without a dash of outdoor fun. Advanced riders can partake in a thrilling week-long riding intensive, receiving expert coaching and the chance to be part of the esteemed Hollins riding team. At Hollinsummer, every girl finds a space to shine and grow, to learn and lead. It's more than a summer camp; it's an enriching journey of self-discovery and skills development.
