SCRIBES TEEN WRITING CAMP
Calling all middle- and high-school writers! Improve your creative writing skills through programming led by successful writers.
 From one of last year's Scribes students, Bailey: "I guess it all starts when I walk into the room and the first thing I see is someone else with neon hair, or a nerdy T-shirt, or a pencil tucked behind their ear ... these are my people. This is what I can't get at school, or at home, or anywhere else. ... What I get out of Scribes is a unique mix of friendship, critique, and experience that has, over two summers, become one of the most important things in my life."
Apply to Hugo House's Scribes Writing Camp today.
