Class Description
In this weeklong camp we'll have prompts, writing time, out-of-class activities to get our sensory descriptions flowing, and workshop. By the end of the week, you'll have your toolbox full of ideas, beginnings, and some drafts to keep you going all summer. We will discuss the submission process and publication opportunities for teens and end the week with a reading. For writers age 13-18 ONLY.
