Campers will attend entertaining, lively workshops designed to inspire young writers. Students will write and read stories, plays, screenplays, poetry, personal narratives, song lyrics, and experimental pieces, experiencing the power of the literary imagination while developing language skills.
The week also includes forums on the birth of ideas, slam and performance art, free writing, nonsense verse, haiku, and abstract and concrete poetry. Campers will make a walking visit to Newfields (the Indianapolis Museum of Art) and have a pizza party and explore visual art (children need to bring a sack lunch on other days).
On Friday, we’ll cap the camp with a presentation of certificates and an open-mic reading (with ice cream). Families are welcome. Throughout the camp, students will work with Butler student mentors and professors to create a website where work from the camp will be displayed and enjoyed by participants and families.
Discounts given on both in person sessions, same as last year.
