High school writers' camp offered |
|
June 2, 2017 |
The writing camp for gifted high school writers,
Writers at Harriman, is now accepting
applications for 2017. The camp runs July 30
through August 5 at Harriman State Park of
Idaho.
The application deadline is June 15.
The teaching writers for this year’s camp will
be poet and essayist Chris Dempsey; Nicole
LeFavour, who is a novelist, essayist, and poet;
lyricist and poet Megan Levad; and Malai
Collins, who writes short stories and children’s
books. The four are seasoned writing teachers.
The camp will feature guest artists who will
teach water colors, paper making and
storytelling.
Student writers will also have time to explore
the park looking for moose, trumpeter swans, elk
and sandhill cranes. Horseback riding and nature
hikes will round out the week.
Camp Director Rick Just says that applicants are
selected for their interest in writing.
“We keep the tuition very low so that more
people can attend. We especially want to recruit
students from smaller schools.”
Some scholarships are available. More
