June 15-19, 2026
For kids in rising grades 6th-10th
In this Creative Writing Summer Camp, campers will enjoy daily writing prompts, workshops, book/text discussions, reading time, and free write. We will take a deep dive into writing fundamentals like character development, setting, and point of view and explore genres including fiction, memoir, and poetry. The group will also spend time outside in the neighborhood and at local parks (as weather permits), working on our writing while using nature and new settings for inspiration. This camp will focus specifically on the art of short stories/short fiction.
This camp includes a Q&A session with a local author, whose work we will have read during our time together.
