Write On! Writing Camp
Camp Leaders: Amy Sheridan Potts & Kathy Richardson

Dates: June 24–28, 2024
Contact: asheridanpotts@maret.org & krichardson@maret.org
Dates: June 24–28, 2024
Time: 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.
Ages: Rising 3rd–5th Grades
Cost: $450.00
Capacity: 22
Campers will flex their writing muscles as they write about topics of interest in a variety of genres (narrative, opinion, information, poetry). With expert guidance, they will practice taking an idea through the writing process with an emphasis on planning, drafting, revising, and editing. Daily activities will include reading and studying published texts for inspiration, partner and group work to share ideas and feedback, independent writing time, and student-teacher conferences. Students will also take a walking field trip to write poetry in an inspirational natural setting. The week will end with a celebration in which students share a favorite piece in the "Author's Chair."
