Writing Camps for high school students
Most teenagers nowadays are quite sensitive. They don’t feel like attending after-school classes, co-curricular activities, or anything that would require a connection with their academics. That’s why it’s always a better idea to opt for creative writing summer camps as compared to daily writing classes. Keeping the interest of teenagers in view, we have designed our campus, materials, and resources in a way that would make them habitually inquisitive and keep them engaged. We teach teenagers how to produce works of literature using national common core standards. Whether they struggle with fantasy or your high school kid is a die-hard fan of murder mysteries, we deliver all that it takes to create legendary characters like Sherlock Holmes. That’s because we teach from the basics – types of writing, research, academics, outlines, vocabulary, brainstorming till the self-publishing of their written narrative project.
