Get away for five days at the Summer Camp in Writing at the Highlights Foundation! This workshop is for fiction and nonfiction storytellers who are looking for inspiration, guidance, mentorship, community, fun, creativity, and…a place to dream!
At the Highlights Foundation, “summer camp” is different than S’mores by the fire and hiking in the woods. (Though we do that, too.)
Our Summer Camp in Writing is a time to find the kind of encouragement for your stories that only a generous mentor can provide. To find inspiration and support. To be with a community that understands the long process of turning dreams into books for children. To work 1:1 and fine-tune your words and pitches while you have some fun.
This is an in-person workshop at our Retreat Center with hands-on sessions, mentorship, and ample time for independent writing, meeting informally with fellow creatives, and resting.
Lodging and meals are included.
Begins with dinner 5:30pm Eastern on Sunday, July 13
Ends with lunch on Thursday, July 17
Pre-retreat Zoom to answer questions about submissions and discuss our summer camp community will be held on Monday, June 9 at 12 noon Eastern (this will be recorded for those who cannot attend live)
