Young Writers Camps are opportunities for kids to spend a few days in the summer growing as writers while having fun with other kids.

Students from a 2006 Young Writers Camp

In June, we offer camps for young writers who are in elementary school, and for older young writers who are in middle or high school. Some camps are for students who love writing, and some are for those who say they hate to write. Some are for college entrance applications, some are for the SAT writing component, and some are just for fun, artistic purposes, and thoughtful reflection. Some are one week long, and others are two weeks long. Applications and dates available (see link below).
