Creative Writing Level II–Fiction (Sr. Level: Rising 10-12 Graders)
This camp will dive into the art of fiction—teaching the basic elements of plot, description, character, scene setting, imagery, point of view. Although we’ll practice mostly short stories and flash fiction due to time constraints, teens who want to (or are) working on larger projects such as novellas and novels, will also learn relevant tips and skills to write their projects. No previous experience in fiction writing is required, just a commitment and curiosity to learn and explore. This is a great camp for students who have an idea for a book and need a way to get started, for those who are interested in exploring creative writing, or for those who feel stuck in more traditional writing classes and just need to gain confidence writing. The skills learned here will translate into academic writing as well.
