Summer Camp Spotlight: Creative Writing Workshop at Wellesley College Club

July 25, 2019 by admin

SPONSORED POST: It’s time for your child to find out how fun writing can be at Creative Writing Workshop‘s summer program on the campus of beautiful Wellesley College. Our last session runs August 5 – 8, 8:45am – 11:45am. Spaces are currently available, so register now for this unique program open to writers of all ability levels — boys and girls — ages 8 through 12.

Creative Writing Workshop, Wellesley
Student collaboration session at Creative Writing Workshop.

This special writing workshop blends creativity and fun with the written word. Students will be “all in” on the writing process, often with multiple works-in-progress going such as short stories, personal narratives, poetry, journals, and graphic stories. The writers will hone important skills and gain confidence in their abilities, all while having fun with the process. All curriculum materials are included in tuition.

To spark imaginations, kids do activities both indoors and outdoors. By infusing joy in the creative writing process, students become more independent  and confident  in their writing ability and will find how fun writing can be. Students receive individual attention and will benefit from the creative ideas shared by all. The group is limited in size to ensure a low teacher:student ratio.

Students review writing in our outdoor space on the patio of the Wellesley College Club.

The Wellesley College Club at 727 Washington Street is our air conditioned indoor space. Most of our inspiration will come from the lush landscape, outdoor sculpture and art, and exposure to the dynamic culture of Wellesley  College.

Please ask about the “Bring a Friend” discount. Spaces are currently available.

Register here.
