Creative Writing Academy

Storytelling through Poetry & Novel Writing WANTED: Book lovers. Creative writers. Dig deep into your imagination and experiences to create stories. Learn how to plan out your writing, and develop your characters. Learn about different kinds of poetry and read and create a variety of poems. Participate in a poetry slam to celebrate each camper’s writing. Learn about the importance of a writing community and supporting each other to produce the best writing you can. Share your favorite reading with book talks (and hear from camp adults as well)! Put your imagination in print!  (This camp is not intended to teach students to improve their writing ability but to foster a love of reading, writing, and collaborating! Students WILL receive feedback on their writing; however, the feedback will be more centered on their storytelling rather than writing mechanics.)
