Summer Camps for Young Writers

The Plymouth Writing Project, a site of the National Writing Project, is dedicated to improving the teaching of writing in our nation’s schools. Since 2002, we have offered a summer institute for the best teachers of writing in the state. Each summer we also offer unique day camp experiences specifically for young writers. Children and youth who attend write in journals, write poetry, work with professional authors and illustrators, write on computers, and publish their writing. The camps afford an opportunity to enjoy being part of a community of writers. Summer Youth Writing Project programs are planned and staffed by Plymouth Writing Project Teacher Consultants.
