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.

Morning Classes:

Spine-Tingling Adventures: The Art of Mystery, Suspense, and Action in World-building 

Taught by Karlyn Coleman

Young writers, journey into world-building with us! Explore haunted and mysterious places, crafting thrilling tales. Join our exciting journey where we create page-turning and spine-tingling stories to tell around a campfire! 

Poetry and Graphic Novels 

Taught by Allison Blevins

Visual artists and writers often inspire each other to both create in fun new ways and push boundaries: poems have been written about paintings, songs about tv shows, and movies about books.  Artists and writers also find ways to combine their creativity and work together using illustration, posters, and more.  In this camp, you'll work together to inspire each other and create pieces that combine art with writing.  Our final project will be a poetic graphic novel.
