Everyone loves stories about good conquering evil, the hero using smarts and strength to overcome the villain. Using this as a starting point, we will play writing games and use writing exercises to explore real and fantastical worlds, as well as fictional, nonfictional, and poetic forms. Campers will write about their own experiences and from their own imagination, in search of their own unique writing voices. Throughout the camp, students will work with their fellow campers and the instructor to workshop, give, and receive feedback on their work, and will polish their best pieces for publication. After the conclusion of the camp, campers will receive a published collection containing everyone's best work. No experience with writing necessary, just a desire to explore and discover!
