TCWP Camps for Young Writers
The summer 2008 TCWP Camps for
Young Writers take place during June 16-27 (Monday-Friday) The camps
are designed
to give talented and enthusiastic elementary and middle school writers
a chance to develop their writing in a supportive
and
collegial environment.
For 2008, we will have two simultaneously occurring camps:
- What
Do Authors Do? (ages 8-10): Our
'traditional' camp experience, focusing on a variety of creative
writing activities, leading towards publication
- The Writers' Toolbox (ages 11-13): A
more focused camp for advanced aspriting authors and writers. Each day
introduces a new writing tool.

in a public reading of writing with parents, friends, and others in
attendance.
