Kim C Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 My ds15 loves writing and hopes to be a successful published author some day. He has almost completed his first novel, which he plans to self-publish within the next few months. Knowing about his love of writing, a friend of mine recently sent me a list of creative writing camps around the country. Some are multi-week residential camps and some are just day camps. Of course the longer residental camps are way out of our price range, but I don't want to throw money out the window for any camp that isn't worth the time or money. So, I would like to hear from anyone who has sent their child to a creative writing camp, and find out what you and your child thought of it. TIA Kim 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yvonne Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 My nephew did a creative writing workshop at Sarah Lawrence College the summer after his junior year. He loved it. SL is now his top choice for college. I have no idea what it costs, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 One Year Adventure Novel has a week long workshop each summer. I've heard good things about it from IRL friends who have gone. I think it bases heavily around their curriculum though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we will revisit it and see what he thinks. Thanks! Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
