In the summer of 2007 the Adelphi University Ruth S. Ammon School of Education, in partnership with best-selling author and Adelphi graduate, Alice Hoffman '73, again offered the Adelphi University Alice Hoffman Young Writers Retreat. This annual program is an intensive writing workshop where high school students and their teachers can experience the power of arts-based learning.

The four-day summer retreat on Adelphi's main campus in Garden City, New York, featured creative writing workshops with Adelphi faculty, accomplished writers and artists, and English education graduate students. All admitted students received a full program scholarship.

The 2008 Retreat will be held the week of Monday, July 28 through Friday, August 1 in the Adelphi University Alumni House. High school students attend from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Check back soon for application details.
