Sr. Level Poetry Writing Workshop (Rising 10-12 Graders)
July 13-17, 2026
9:30 a.m. -12:30 p.m.
This camp will dive into the art of poetry—teaching the basic elements of image, sound, form, description, and figurative language through interactive exercises, readings and workshops. We’ll look at both new and old forms, experimenting with a variety of styles. Students will get plenty of hands-on time to write and create their own body of poetry. No previous experience in poetry writing is required, just a commitment and curiosity to learn and explore. This is a great camp for students who are seriously interested in creative writing, or for those who just feel stuck in academic writing classes and want to gain confidence writing in a more creative format. The skills learned here will translate into improved academic writing as well.
