WRITING CAMP: FUN, FRIENDS, SHARING

When twenty-one girls between the ages of nine and twelve descend on you, you’d better be ready! And our Young Women Writing for (a) Change teachers are. Lead teachers Andrea Rotter and Julia Mace have provided a fun-packed Summer Writing Camp (June 15-19). With trusty teen assistants Karen Bullock and Megan Stentz, here are just a few of the exciting and fun activities planned. Each girl is constructing a sort of “shrine to myself,” with drawings, pictures, objects from home, and writing – all of which tell something about what makes them unique. A walk in the park gives everyone time to take a closer look at nature, write about it, and share with the group. Small group get-togethers are an opportunity for the girls to read their writing and listen to others share their stories, poems, observations and dreams.

Skits, games, snacks, and lots of quiet time to write and reflect make for a rich and unique experience. On the last day of camp, parents and friends are invited to serve as audience, as the girls read aloud a piece of their favorite writing. These twenty-one budding writers will take home artistic pieces, a notebook of new writing, a deeper knowledge and appreciation of who they are, and a whole bunch of new best friends!
