Help Your Child Fall in Love with Writing This Summer! Adventures in Writing Camp is returning to Laurel Upper School July 7 – July 18. (Grades 1-8)Authors, teachers, and musicians are teaming up to help students fall in love with writing this summer! Adventures in Writing Camp is a two-week “day camp” program that allows elementary campers to write, edit, and publish their own eBooks, and middle-schoolers to create short stories and turn them into animatics! Campers learn and create under the guidance of credentialed teachers, musicians, and authors. Lessons are delivered as songs. New writing skills are practiced by writing (family-friendly) rap songs. It’s the writing camp that turns “writing camp” on its formerly stuffy head! Adventures in Writing Camp is a two-week, full-day camp for campers entering grades 1-8. Camp runs 9am to 3pm, M-F, with extended care available. Visit www.AIWcamp.com for more information and a short video overview of camp.
