Common App &amp; Essay Bootcamp Returns to Doylestown The One Week Fast Track to a Completed College Application +&nbsp;Essay
Following the success of last year’s program, The College Studio team is bringing their <a href="https://collegestudio.co/events-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Common App &amp; Essay Bootcamp</a> back to Doylestown this summer. 
In just THREE EVENINGS – students will:
<ul><li>Complete the Common App.</li><li>Write a strong essay (with one-on-one guidance).</li><li>Gain strategic insight
to spotlight strengths and experiences.</li><li>Receive technical direction&nbsp;on topics like Early Decision.</li></ul>
Led by certified college admissions counselors Katie Fisher and Mary Lamb, bootcamp students complete their college application efficiently and correctly, without the stress and procrastination that often accompany the process.
Following the success of last year’s program, they’re offering two sessions this summer at the new Doylestown Recreation Center: 
<ul><li>July 13-15 (5:00-8:00pm)</li><li>August 10-12 (5:00-8:00 pm)</li></ul>
"Last summer, we had students arrive with blank Common Apps and leave with completed applications and strong essays just a few days later," says Fisher. "Their productivity and engagement were incredible.”
Students from the 2025 Bootcamp are now heading to top-choice colleges to pursue majors in nursing, business, architecture, engineering, and more.
The program also earned enthusiastic reviews from parents.
"You saved me many sleepless nights and fights with my child. Bootcamp was a great way to tackle this project," wrote one parent.
Another texted simply:
"Holy Essay! Bootcamp for the Win!!"
The College Studio Common App &amp; Essay Bootcamp combines the expertise of two experienced admissions professionals.
Fisher, a College &amp; Career Counselor in a Pennsylvania school district with a master's degree in Counselor Education from the University of Virginia, specializes in application strategy, admissions planning, and Common App guidance.
Lamb, a journalist, essay specialist, and Certified College Admissions Counselor, helps students identify meaningful topics and craft authentic essays that stand out in the admissions process.
"What makes our partnership work so well is that we approach the application from different but complementary perspectives," says Fisher. "Working with both of us simultaneously, students not only get their Common App finished, but they can also be confident it’s done really well.”

The three-day exhibition, Feel Free, will feature 20 new original paintings, a curated selection of limited-edition giclée prints, and opportunities for visitors to meet Kote during artist receptions throughout the weekend. Admission is free and open to the public.
“This exhibit showcases artworks inspired by Stone Harbor, Avalon, and the nearby New Jersey shoreline,” says Kote. “The title evokes the ocean’s vastness, the gentle breeze, and the endless possibilities that define this remarkable coast.”
Many of the new works draw inspiration from the landscapes and atmosphere of Seven Mile Island, reflecting Kote’s long-standing connection to the region and Ocean Galleries.
“Returning to Ocean Galleries again feels especially meaningful,” explains Kote. “Over the years, it’s grown beyond an exhibition space; it’s become an integral part of my journey and my connection to the gallery and the beautiful New Jersey shore.”
The collection also includes several patriotic coastal scenes created in recognition of America’s upcoming 250th anniversary.
“As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary this summer, the collection prominently features the American flag, symbolizing history, pride, and unity,” says Kote. “The American flag appears in several paintings, integrated into the landscapes not merely as decoration but as a vital part of the story of place, memory, tradition, and home.”
Ocean Galleries owner Kim Miller says Kote's annual exhibition has become one of the gallery's signature events.
“Bringing Josef Kote to Stone Harbor is a dream come true. My goal for the last 40 years has been to bring incredible artists and art to people here,” Miller says. “This is a small beach town, and I'm proud that we've been able to introduce something so unique and special to the community.”
Recognized internationally for blending classical technique with contemporary themes, Kote has built a devoted following among collectors worldwide.
The Feel Free exhibition and artist receptions are complimentary and open to the public. Original paintings and limited-edition prints will be available for acquisition throughout the weekend at Ocean Galleries in Stone Harbor.
