Exploring Creative Writing for Youth

Service Description

Our summer youth camps are back! These week-long programs invite young people to explore their feelings and identities, or to imagine new realities through the written word. This summer our week-long programs will focus on the development of different kinds of writing skills and how they can help us move through life, have fun with and find agency though writing. Exploring Creative Writing Our youth camp will introduce children to different modes and approaches to writing; from poetry, comics, and fantasy, to mixed media arts and journaling. At the end of the week, children will participate in a group reading at PorchLight, bring home a finished project, and be able to talk about their interests and insights with the people they love. These classes are designed for children going into 4th through those coming out of 6th grade. Our day will start at 9:00 and end at 1:00. Early drop-off is available. Please contact Jennifer Colville (jennifer@porchlightliterary.org) with any questions.
