Tuition includes five days of small group instruction, choices from 20 different writing clubs,
a camp t-shirt, camp knap-sack, composition notebook, pen, daily writing prizes and incentives,
snack, camp magazine, and visit from professional author along with a signed copy of one of their latest books.
At the beginning of the day, campers work with Carrie and Emily alongside other kids their own age in their homeroom. Here, they share what they’re working on and learn how to use new writing techniques to make their work shine even brighter.
Ask any of our young authors, and they’ll tell you: club time is one of the best parts of the camp. Each day, we host four to five different writing clubs that allow students to explore different areas of writing, from fantasy to playwriting to two-voice poetry.
Each year, professional authors visit our camp to give our campers advice, teach them about the life of a professional writer, and (of course) sign books. Past guest authors include Brandon Mull, Jessica Day George, J. Scott Savage, Jennifer Nelson and Mark Pett.
At the end of the session, each camper chooses their favorite piece from the week to polish and publish in the camp magazine or online on Flipgrid. Every writer goes through revision, edits, and conferences with coaches to make sure their work is ready to be shared. As we say goodbye at the end of the week, we raise plastic cups of Sprite in our traditional author’s toast and celebrate the chance to share our writing with a real audience.
Every year, we select a small group of high school and college-aged interns to help bring Write On to life. Our interns each act as a writing coach for a small group of students throughout the week. Students flock to them for writing advice, to share stories, or even just for a high five.
Are you ready to take your writing to the next level? We’re bringing back TEEN EDITION for our 2024 summer camp!
Teen edition gives 8th and 9th grade writers the opportunity to experiment with fiction, poetry, graphic storytelling and other literary forms. They explore composing strategies, brainstorming methods, imaginative risk-taking, serious creative play, and round out their week with a focus on contest writing.
