About this camp

Have you ever stared at a blank page, yearning to write a story or novel, but not sure where to begin? Embark on a literary adventure and turn your storytelling dreams into a reality.

Using the Snowflake Method and the 3-Act Structure, we’ll hone your craft as writers. Each day, you’ll delve into the intricacies of refining ideas, creating vivid scenes and settings, crafting authentic dialogue, and describing action with finesse. Through a blend of hands-on activities, collaborative workshops with fellow writers, peer feedback sessions, and dedicated writing time, you’ll witness your story unfold and evolve.

By the end of the week, you’ll possess the tools and inspiration needed to elevate your story from a mere concept to a finished masterpiece. Join us for a week of creativity, camaraderie, and the sheer joy of putting pen to paper.
