In one week of fun sessions, campers will:

explore ways to write spontaneously and leave standardized test writing behind
work in teams to develop group projects that showcase the individual strengths of each member
produce paragraphs, poems, and stories that bubble with imagination
learn how to better express ideas and personal sentiments,
