High School Summer Writing Camp RIWP 2016

The RIWP Summer Writing Camp is a program designed for elementary, middle, and high school students who enjoy writing. Our 2016 programs will take place July 18-29, 2016, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 to 12:00.

Staffed by experienced local educators, our camps help students develop their writing as they share their work in a lively, interactive, and supportive community.

Camp features include:
Writing exercises designed to jumpstart thinking and improve each writer's craft
Exploration of the work of published authors to use as models in a variety of genres
Freedom to explore individual writing interests
Opportunities to collaborate with instructors and peers and to receive constructive feedback for revision
A space for students to see themselves as writers with individual voices

At the end of the program, each participant will publish a self-selected piece in a compilation of student writing. All students will receive a copy of their group's anthology.

Groups are arranged by grade level.
