Creative Writing Day Camps & Workshops for Children & Teens

General Information on SummerWrite 2003
Creative Writing Day Camps & Workshops for Children & Teens

Group Size & Instructor Ratio

“[I appreciated the] small size, individualized attention, creativity, and the help and encouragement for a new reader like Max!” — Stephanie Clark, Parent

Workshops are limited to a total enrollment of 12 unless otherwise stated. Most workshops are led by one adult writer and a college intern assistant.

Special Features

Most workshops involve other art forms in addition to writing. Many take advantage of other arts institutions close by, like the Eastman House and the Memorial Art Gallery. Most workshops end with a publication and/or presentation.

Facilities

Our beautiful 1903 building on ArtWalk in the Neighborhood of the Arts is recently renovated and landscaped to be fully wheelchair accessible, with five sun-lit, air-conditioned workshop rooms and a computer lab. We use the playgrounds next door for outdoor time over lunch. In addition, daily playground break-time or other outdoor activities are scheduled for each group.  [ map ]

Food

Participants bring their own lunches; refrigeration is available. Snacks and water for breaks are provided.

Supervision and Hours

Participants must be signed in and out. Supervision by staff and instructors is provided continuously from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. Supervision beyond these hours is available by contract for a fee of $6.50 an hour.

Schedule

We have SummerWrite workshops from June 25 to August 30, weekdays. Some special programs are whole days and/or multiple weeks. For many programs, mornings and afternoons are two separate workshops. We try to match them well, as most children and many teens take whole days (both workshops) and stay for lunch. Places are available for participants who, due to special interest, choose to attend only a morning or afternoon week-long workshop.
