A choose-your-own creative writing adventure for young writers.
🗺️✍️🌟 Welcome to a summer writing camp where your imagination leads the way!
At Adventures in Writing, young writers explore the vast world of storytelling—one prompt, one idea, one adventure at a time. Whether you’re dreaming up magical realms, historical dramas, swoony romances, or stories pulled from real life, this is the camp where it all comes to life on the page.
Write something brand new each day, or stick with one piece and take it all the way to “The End.” This camp gives you the space and support to follow your inspiration, revise and polish your work, and share it (if you want to) with a cheering squad on Friday.
Who’s this camp for?
Middle school writers (ages 11–14) who want to explore storytelling in all kinds of flavors—sci-fi, fantasy, historical, contemporary, romance, memoir, mystery—you name it. Mature younger writers, and writers who’ve attended our monthly Write Club workshops are also welcome to join in.

This camp is a safe and welcoming space
At Wordcrafters, we believe everyone can be a writer if they want to be—and every story matters. We create safe, welcoming spaces where all kids can be themselves, take creative risks, and grow. This camp gives kids the tools, time, and support to grow their voice and tell their stories, their way. No pressure. No grades. Just a lot of heart (and some yummy snacks).
