Sold Out Write Stuff! Creative Writing Camp
Monday ~ Friday August 4 ~ 8 10:00 am ~ 3:00 pm
Young writers (ages 8 - 12) will have the chance to experiment with writing poetry, fiction, correspondence, journaling, and stories inspired by nature and art. Campers will not only get the chance to spend time writing in Louisa May Alcott's bedchamber, but also observe and be inspired by wonderful artifacts within Orchard House, and immerse themselves in the beautiful grounds of The Wayside and Ralph Waldo Emerson's garden. To top it off, they'll find ways to embrace physical movement and enjoy games that encourage playfulness, inspiration, and creativity!
