YAWP: Young Adult Writing Program

What do camps look like? Offering time and inspiration, YAWP sessions support writers in a collaborative atmosphere where they can share works in progress. YAWP sessions engage young writers in crafting a variety of forms based on the theme and focus of the camp. The creative writing camps, for example focus on writing such as poems, autobiographical sketches, heart maps, short stories, arguments, nature/science, craft secrets, and daily writing workshops. Each camper will share a final piece of writing for publication in the camp anthology. Where are camps located? Camps will be held ONLINE via zoom What grade levels do we serve? 4th - 12th.
