Communication skills — the ability to present an idea, respond to pushback, and hold a room — are increasingly recognized as a differentiator in college admissions and early careers. Kennesaw State University's proximity means many local students and parents think about these skills earlier than average, and look for programs that build them specifically.
Rhetrix regularly enrolls Kennesaw students from North Cobb High School, Harrison High School, and Kennesaw Mountain High School. The program groups students by track based on grade level, not school affiliation, so your student will be alongside peers from across the region who are in the same developmental moment.
From Kennesaw to Woodstock is about 20 to 25 minutes depending on the route. Rhetrix summer camp runs mornings Monday through Friday for one week. Fall and spring cohorts are once a week for five weeks. Both formats work well for Kennesaw families who are managing a full activity schedule.
What Kennesaw parents ask us most.
Do you serve students from Kennesaw?
Yes. Rhetrix regularly enrolls students from the Kennesaw area, including families near North Cobb, Harrison, and Kennesaw Mountain high schools. There is no geographic restriction — the program is open to any student in grades 6 through 12 who can attend in person.
Is communication coaching relevant for students planning to attend KSU or other Georgia colleges?
Absolutely. College success — at KSU and anywhere else — increasingly depends on the ability to present, collaborate, and communicate under pressure. Rhetrix builds exactly those skills: structured delivery, impromptu speaking, and the confidence to hold a room even when you haven't had time to prepare. These skills also matter enormously in internships and early career roles.
How far is the drive from Kennesaw to Rhetrix?
Summer day camp at Woodstock Community Church is about 20 to 25 minutes from most Kennesaw addresses. The drive is mostly on I-575 with manageable traffic for morning camp sessions.
What is the time commitment for a Rhetrix program?
Summer day camp is five consecutive weekday mornings — 90 minutes per session, about 7.5 hours total over one week. Fall and spring cohorts are one 60-minute session per week for five weeks. Both formats are designed to fit alongside school, athletics, and other activities.
