Creative Writing
Description
In this interactive co-ed workshop, students will flex their creative writing muscles and gain a deeper understanding of both the structure and techniques of writing a short story. Meetings will include (but are not limited to) sample readings of the genre, writerly advice, writing exercises, lessons on craft, take-home assignments, and sharing one’s writing in a friendly workshop environment. Each student will complete one short story by the workshop’s end. If you really love to write, this is a great opportunity. There’s nothing like being a part of a community of writers. This session DOES NOT include lunch for your camper. Lunch can be added in the Options menu for $40/week.
