You will love this weeklong exploration into the many facets of writing and how our writing can be enhanced with artwork and media arts. Campers will explore poetry, dialogue, story writing, twisted fairy tales and more all while receiving unique instruction on the writing process. Students will create two videos inspired by their own writing during our time at camp - one individually and one as a group.  At the end of the week, our writers will be able to invite their family and friends to join us at Stutelage for a presentation of their hard work.
