A camp experience for imaginative kids...
Campers will receive expert coaching, encouragement, and space to grow as writers through games, storytelling challenges, and creative exploration.
They will build a community of fellow authors, all leading up to a Sharing Celebration where they can showcase their work.
Camp sessions are led by experienced writing teachers and authors who support hundreds of children across the tri-state area.
AM Session - Rising 1st & 2nd graders dive into storytelling through playful writing adventures, co-authoring tales, and bringing their ideas to life with words and pictures.
PM Session - Rising 3rd- 5th graders collaborate, build rich narratives, and develop their own unique voices through co-writing and independent storytelling.
