Writing & Book Camp

by May 10, 2010

Calling all aspiring writers and book lovers! Sharpen your pencils, stretch your typing fingers, and spark your imagination at the Writing & Book Camp!

This unique day camp lets youth with a passion for reading and writing connect with well-known authors and illustrators. Each day features a new keynote speaker from the Canadian literary world. Campers also experience a variety of different creative workshops from “Storytelling through Improvisation” with Mike Fly to “An Intro to Making Your Own Comic Books” with Ian Boothby and Pia Guerra. This year’s stellar speaker line-up includes Carrie Mac, Polly Horvath, Susin Nielsen, Sarah Ellis, Meg Tilly, and many more! In this energetic, literary environment, campers are divided into two age groups: 11-13 and 14+. We hope to see you there!
