Creative Writing Camp at Winter Break 2/16-20

Why Creative Writing?

The course will build upon skills that allow students to express themselves fluently through writing, an ability that is invaluable for success in high school English classes, college essay-writing, and standardized testing. Proficiency in writing will benefit students throughout their entire careers, as effective communication is quickly becoming a required asset in the modern workplace. The course will also aid students in developing and polishing work for submission to creative writing competitions and summer workshops, both of which hold considerable weight in college resumes.

Program Description:
The weeklong camp will focus on the key aspects of creative storytelling and poetry. Through seminars and exercises, students will build skills in the fundamental elements of craft, such as voice, imagery, character, and plot. In addition to completing various writing exercises, students will draft, revise, and finalize at least one long-term assignment by the end of the camp.
