Adventures in Writing Camp Los Angeles

Help Your Child Fall in Love With Writing This Summer! Adventures in Writing Camp Los Angeles is coming to a school near you.

Authors, teachers, and musicians are teaming up to help students fall in love with writing this summer! Adventures in Writing Camp Los Angeles is a one-week “day camp” program that allows elementary campers to write, edit, and publish their own eBooks, and middle-schoolers to create their blogs with guided posts.

Campers are learning and creating under the guidance of credentialed teachers, musicians, and authors. They will learn writing through traditional classroom methods, visual components through storyboarding and e-book design and writing through music. Younger grades will sing and dance to writing themed songs while older grades will write camp-themed chants to practice rhyme and meter. Game and theater-based instruction and outdoor playtime will be sprinkled in as well to “get the wiggles out." It’s the writing camp that turns “writing camp” on its formerly stuffy head.

 Game and theater-based instruction and outdoor playtime will be sprinkled in as well to “get the wiggles out."

Each week is self-contained and themed so campers can attend one, or both sessions. 

Session 1 at each location will be themed "Personal Narrative". Learn the basics of what makes a great memoir! Students will focus their writing inward and explore their emotions. This program will also cover the importance of sensory details and how to add descriptions to their writing to engage their readers.

Session 2 is themed "Story Elements". Learn the art of storytelling as you bring characters to life and place them within rich narratives. The fundamentals of story structure will be covered in this program, as well as character development and figurative language. This program is perfect for writers of all ages and stages!
