This writer's workshop summer camp is all about creative writing, active play, and connection with nature. Children will spend time each day in games, observation, and play outside in the beautiful, forested Mt. Tabor park. During the writer's workshop, students will learn the elements of creative writing and will have the freedom to write whatever they choose. 

A great fit for students who already love to write and for those who need more practice, support, and/or motivation. 

Family and friends are invited to a story circle at 2:00 on Friday afternoon where each student will share their story.
Your child will:
  • Enliven the imagination and creativity
  • Spend time in active outdoor play at Mt. Tabor Park
  • Experience a connection to nature
  • Increase awareness of the senses
  • Develop writing skills that transfer to all content areas
  • Learn the 3 pillars of a story
  • Build confidence 
  • Write for an immediate audience
  • Strengthen their own unique voice in writing
