Fantasia! Atlantis to Middle Earth: A Creative Writing & Art Camp

From Narnia to Harry Potter’s Wizarding World, stories have the power to transport us to a different reality. Some of the most engaging ones create a whole alternate universe, where cowardly lions battle their fears, kids go on dangerous quests, and dragons soar through the skies. In this camp, you’ll get to create your own fantasy world with words and images, and plunge into creating stories to rival those from Oz or Nim.

Afternoon Classes:

Wild Worlds: Build on Your Imagination 

Taught by Aegor Ray 

So often a story begins with a simple question: What would happen if...? What would happen if octopuses took over the world? What would happen if our memories began to disappear? In this class, we'll design worlds and characters that stem from one of your questions. Whether you imagine an underwater utopia or an oil spill in the Mississippi or a blossoming community orchard in Saint Paul, we'll take your seeds and create dioramas, masks, and written books that explore a world! This will be a class of play and artmaking in addition to writing!

Roll For It: Collaborative Storytelling Through Games

Taught by Josie Hegarty

In this course, we will come together to build a dynamic world and then have an adventure in it. We will create exciting characters to embody in the world we build, and using dice, magic, a few rules  and our imaginations, explore and expand that universe as we quest.
