Description
Since 1990, SCWriP’s Young Writers Camp has offered students an opportunity to explore the many facets of writing, regardless of their skill levels. Our outstanding staff of certified classroom teachers are all graduates of SCWriP’s Invitational Summer Institute in Composition and Critical Literacy at UCSB. Students participate in a stimulating learning environment that creates a community of writers to give optimum support and growth. Activities vary from year to year and from one class to another, including a broad range of genres and experiences geared to generate great writing.
