Adventures In Writing Camp

Specialties

For campers entering grades 2 – 5 in the fall

Our team of authors, musicians, teachers and curriculum experts set out to create a writing camp that turns the notion of «writing camp» on its formerly-​stuffy head.

Lessons are delivered as songs. Campers publish their own eBooks. New writing skills are practiced by writing rap songs.

Did we accomplish our goal? We think so. But don’t take our word for it. Visit our website and watch the video to see for yourself what Adventures in Writing Camp can do for YOUR young writers.

History

Established in 2012.
