I'd love to do something like this--though I am more inclined to the nearby Odyssey Writing workshop June 10 through July 19, 2013 http://www.sff.net/odyssey/workshop.html
I'm envious of attendees who can take 6 weeks off from work in the summer! I wonder if these courses were originally geared to college students on summer break?
Or, inadvertently, retirees. Perhaps in a couple years, but it has been a long time since I've been in in school--except as the professor.
Respectfully, Dr. Bob

Clarion would be wonderful, but I too can't take off from my life for six weeks.
This is a little off-topic, but does anyone know whether OSC will be holding Boot Camp this year? I've been looking for the announcement on his webpage, but nothing so far. I can't do six weeks at Clarion, but I can certainly swing one week for Boot Camp.

My question has been answered. Boot Camp information is up! July 29 through Aug. 3 in Orem, Utah. That's close enough that if I somehow get in, I can drive.

I feel like the others: Clarion would be good but no way for six weeks. I don't know if they are still doing the online workshops but I thought seriously about taking one of those.
Martha's Vineyard is too far away for me--cost would be hight there.
A Boot Camp would be good.

In terms of learning craft, you might consider checking out Dean Wesley Smith's online courses.
I've taken three -- Cliffhangers, From Idea to Story, and I just started his Openings workshop.
You get about 1 to 1.5 hours of video lecture, and there's always 2 assignments each week. Lots of information, lots of inspiration. They're $300 for six weeks, and depending on the assignments, you're making a commitment of about 3 hours a week.
