MSU To Offer Summer Camps For Young Writers
Registration is open for a pair of July summer camps at Montana State University aimed at helping budding writers explore their craft.
The camps are for youth entering third through 12th grades. Campers will participate in field trips, writing games and workshops with local writers from multiple genres. MSU faculty from the Yellowstone Writing Project, a group of educators and writers in the Department of English, will lead the camps.
Families and friends of the campers will be invited to a final showcase on July 17 to celebrate the participants’ work.
Writers entering fifth through 12th grades can attend the Youth Writing Camp from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., July 1317. The price for commuter participants is $350, and the price for campers staying in an on-campus residence hall is $875. An additional fee of $25 will be added for registration after June 1.
The Young Writer’s Camp, which will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 14-17, hosts writers entering third and fourth grades. The camp costs $300, with no overnight lodging on campus available. After June 1, the price increases to $325. Registration is available at ato.montana.edu/ywp/ and will close once the camps are full.
