Creative Writing Summer Camp – Week 2

Join us this summer for an interactive, fun approach to Creative Writing taught by professional working artists in the field.

In this one-week workshop style summer camp, teens will write stories, novel excerpts, nonfiction, and poetry in a fun, inclusive environment. Our goal is self-expression. Our methods are learning by doing, teaching young writers to find their unique voice, try out different styles in their writing, and follow the artistic process to see where it leads.

The workshop will culminate in a final reading and chapbook-style zine produced by the class. There will be an optional reading on the mic and final showcase on the last day that friends and family can attend. This camp will be held at Harvey Milk Center for the Arts at Duboce Park in San Francisco.
