Shall I bring my computer? Yes, we have wi-fi access indoors and out. Can you bring a laptop? Please include the printer cable, too. If you do not have a laptop, consider borrowing one for the week. We will have a few to share.

Can we arrange carpools? Absolutely! Once all the applications are processed, we want to share some basic contact information about each of you campers, and one reason is so that you can plan your travel to be the most efficient possible. You'll have most of July to work on that.

What's the deal on scholarships? Some scholarship funds are available and all you need to do is to write a letter to submit with your application (email is fine, too) stating why you need some financial support. This will be reviewed by a small committee, so think about the questions they might have and try to pre-empt them. We may have partial and full scholarships. Some of that depends upon the demand.

When is tuition due? Tuition is $175, but you will send $25 of that with your application. Once you have heard from us formally, send your remaining $150 tuition to Writers @ Harriman, Box 2525, Boise ID 83701. The details will be in the information we send out. Once that check is received, it's a done deal. You're set!

Will I have any expenses once I get to Writers @ Harriman? Probably not. For one thing, all our meals are catered and the writing supplies are furnished. The visitors center has just a few snacks. In some ways, this will be like a camping trip in the wild. You might want to bring your favorite snack that will travel well, including enough to share or trade. Forget the premium dark chocolate bars (my favorite) and ice cream sandwiches (shoot!). Try apples, nuts, granola bars.
