This camp will not only challenge campers to be creative writers, but will challenge them to bring their stories to life!

“She had such a wonderful time and has developed so much because of your program. Every day she would tell me about what they worked on and what she needed to practice. Every day she jumped out of bed and could not wait to get there. We literally could not drop her off soon enough.”
