Young Writers Camp

The Denver Writing Project offers a Young Writers Camp during the summer. This camp focuses on improving the creative writing skills of junior high and high school students.

2008 Camp

Attention Young Writers! Do you love to write? Are you a budding poet, flourishing story writer, or even future famous author? Would you like to write in a relaxed, social atmosphere? If so, join us for Young Writers Camp at CU-Denver’s scenic Auraria Campus! Spend a fun-filled week of your summer with other young writers exploring and developing your own creative writing abilities. Who knows whom you’ll meet and what you’ll write? The only way to find out is to apply today.

Next summer we will run two camps June 16 - 20  We are planning a digital storytelling camp for ages 10 - 13 and a traditional writing camp for ages 13 -16.
