Here's what students had to say about the 2017 Young Writers' Institute:
I just wish it could be a little longer. Other than that, it was phenomenal! I loved that we used so much poetry and made a bunch of new friends. Otherwise it was great! No other stuff from me! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I really liked sharing at the end of each day and hearing other people's writing. This was a really fun camp! I look forward to next year! |
It was so fun and I really liked the movies that you had to record your voice Writing is fun for me through this and I write my own chapter books now This camp helped me to grow as a writer and I would recommend it to anyone who likes to have fun!!! |
