Scribes & Scribblers (S&S), now in its 17th year, offers writing day camps for kids aged 8 to 12. We invite young people to join us each summer to:
• discover their voice
• tell their stories
• create artwork
• meet new friends
• play games
• take field trips
• find adventure
Scribes & Scribblers gives kids time and
space to tell their own stories in their own voices.
— Susan Benner, longtime camp teacher
Goals
Our chief goal with Scribes & Scribblers is to help kids discover that writing is fun. We will:
| • |
demonstrate that everyone can write |
| • |
illustrate that stories are everywhere |
| • |
explore basic elements of storytelling: language, character, plot and more |
"We love your program. Our
kids learn so much in such a short time while attending
the camp. Thank you so much for all you do."
— Satik Andriassian, 2004 S&S Parent
No matter which camp you join this summer, each is a fun and creative exploration with words, art and new friends. Each camp samples all kinds of writing and wraps with an author party and reading/performance or exhibition of some kind.
