Hello, Summer Scribes!

It's hard to believe that our summer of writing is more than halfway over! So far this summer, Scribes have written TV pilots, penned poems on society's standards of beauty, hosted a table read of their scripts, designed a group constellation with origin stories, turned colors into poems, read their work out loud with passion and vulnerability, sang their own written songs, cheered for each other, and overall, built community as creative young writers.

Check out our virtual and in-person camp offerings before summer is over! All of our camps are offered on a scaled pay-what-you-can rate, and we provide scholarship assistance as well.

Happy scribing!
