It’s not too late to sign your rising 6-8th grader up for this year’s June 8-12th camp.

This middle school summer camp mixes writing and fun. During our weeklong camp, your child will be involved in a variety of play-based writing experiences. They will explore various play stations, participate in community-building activities, and engage in multi-genre writing.

Find more information and sign up for Writers @ Play at bit.ly/checkoutgwp. Scholarships are available.

Please share with a middle school teacher and parent.
