Summer Writing and Multimedia Camp

Write on Sports / Write on Arts

The two major camp themes to choose from are Sports and Art. For both, students become writers to strengthen their writing and literacy skills. They will work on a multimedia project: a video or a podcast episode, and on Guest Days, they'll meet professional journalists from TV, radio and print media outlets, and athletes or local artists. The Arts camp will include theater, music, fine arts, and culture. Students will pick a theme of their choice and identify a project including a feature article or fiction story. Each camp includes a related field trip. This is a low cost summer writing camp for eligible students ages 11-14, rising 7th-9th grades.
