WRITE NOW Writing Camp for Kids
Upcoming Event: My colleague and friend Mary Patouillet and I are offering an exciting, information-packed WRITING CAMP for students entering grades 4th - 8th at Borders Bookstore in Northway Mall on June 16 – 20, 2008. We're hosting two sessions from 9:00 AM – noon and 1:30 – 4:30 PM. The camp features brainstretch exercises and breakout sessions in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.
This is our fourth annual WRITE NOW Writing Camp. We've attracted campers from 27 different schools and homeschoolers, as well. Kids come together from as far north as Evans City and as far south as Upper St. Clair to enjoy this event. We provide a unique, comfortable environment that encourages self-expression and interaction. What better way to release your child's creativity?
WRITE NOW Writing Camp is designed for students who love to write and for those whose parents wish they did! Cost is $130 and includes a t-shirt, notebook, binder, writing supplies, and a bound book of camp creations. Space is limited. Email judy@fatplum.com for details and availability.

Thanks, Kathie! The camp is a wonderful place for kids to become comfortable enough with themselves as writers to enjoy the process and to improve along the way. We teach them the techniques, they choose the topics (with lots of guidance) and we take off from there! The positive results are due, in large part, to the relaxed environment and the "fun" way in which we present the material. The bonuses are the friendships they form and the memorable, unique writings they produce!
Hope all is well with you!
