activities will be provided during the hour break between the morning and afternoon.

CREATIVE WRITING
9am - 3pm • $300
4th – 8th grade
Campers exploring this art form will write in a variety of genres including short stories, poems, non-fiction and plays. Additionally, they review exemplary forms of the styles they are writing in, both as print and video. Not
every moment of the day is spent reading and writing, however, as the campers will engage in other activities to explore their creative style. A final exhibition of their work will take place August 6 with readings of work selected by the campers themselves.

Saturday August 6th is showcase day!
All campers present the work they have done the previous two weeks.
