This two-week camp introduces young writers in grades K-12 to the writing process and to digital tools, such as storyboarding, blogging and movie-making. In daily workshops, the students work with UNCG faculty, graduate students, North Carolina teachers and local authors who support the development of a variety of writing styles. There is a half day and full day option. Typically, all student writers have the opportunity to publish their work via the camp website. You can also find out more information on the camp website.

The UNCG Young Writers’ Camp is held for two weeks in July, Monday through Friday. Campers have the option of attending half day or full day sessions. Our morning session runs from 9:00 am-12:00 pm. During this session campers write about a topic of choice in a genre they prefer. Afternoon sessions are 1:00-4:00 PM and offer specialized instruction of topics such as fiction, poetry, making, etc. Campers attending full-day sessions should bring their own lunch. Enrollment is limited to 100 students. Students will be divided into different sections based on grade level (e.g., K-2, 3-5; 6-8; and 9-12). Each section will have approximately 30 students and at least two instructors. Enrollment is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
