Creative Writing Summer Camps

Our summer camps provide young writers with the opportunity to dive deep into creative writing in a fun, supportive environment. Each week-long camp focuses on different genres and themes, allowing campers to explore various forms of creative expression.

Camps are led by professional writers and teaching artists who guide campers through writing exercises, group activities, and creative projects.
