Write. Learn. Connect.

Power Your Story Young Adult Literacy Lab is open to high school writers (rising eighth graders through graduating seniors) and will focus on solutions journalism. Our young writers will choose an overlooked and misunderstood issue touching their community and will be guided through the process of crafting a long-form news story for publication. Long-form journalism is a branch of journalism that generates longer and more in-depth articles than the typical news story. The camp is scheduled for the first two weeks in June. Young writers can attend either week or both if they choose:

• Week 1 June 1-5
• Week 2 June 8-12

Registration for the camp is $80 for one week or $150 for two weeks.

Dr. Deanna Mascle of Morehead State University and Sarah Webster of Gallatin High School will provide non-evaluative support for the camp M-F through a combination of morning meetings (no more than 90 minutes), daily writing prompts and activities the writers will work on independently, and small group workshops in the afternoon or evening.
