OUR PROFESSIONAL WRITERS JOIN CAMPERS USING THE NATURAL WORLD, CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL SITES, LOCAL ENVIRONS AND UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES TO EMBARK ON JOURNEYS OF INSPIRATION AND IMAGINATION. CAMPERS WORK IN SMALL GROUPS WITH OTHERS THE SAME AGE. THOSE IN ELEMENTARY AND JUNIOR HIGH GRADES HAVE A CHOICE OF CAMP SESSIONS OR THEMES, DEPENDING ON THEIR AREA OF INTEREST. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN A SEPARATE PROGRAM, USING BOISE'S CULTURAL DISTRICT TO ENGAGE THEIR SENSES AND THEIR MINDS WHILE THEY HONE THEIR CREATIVE WRITING SKILLS. EACH WEEK-LONG CAMP CULMINATES IN A PUBLIC READING, GIVING CAMPERS A CHANCE TO SHARE THEIR STORIES WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. THE COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE OF SUMMER CAMPS RESULT IN THE PUBLICATION OF AN ANTHOLOGY OF INDIVIDUAL WRITINGS IN A PROFESSIONALLY EDITED AND BOUND BOOK. CAMPERS ARE NOTIFIED WHEN THE BOOK HAS BEEN PUBLISHED AND ARE INVITED TO A BOOK LAUNCH PARTY TO SHARE AND CELEBRATE.SCHOLARSHIPS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ALL CAMPS.
