ENTERING GRADES: Kindergarten

In this gamified camp for young writers, campers will turn simple, uninspired writing into compelling prose that they will want to share...and that readers will want to read! Campers will write about the sports, games, and other topics they care about most to earn achievment badges for important features of quality writing. From taking a stand with an interesting thesis to adding details that readers will care about, campers will brainstorm, organize their thoughts, create and revise drafts with nuanced and developed thoughts, and finally share their final, knock-it-out-of-the-ballpark essays. Join us to unlock your greatest writing potential!
