I’m really fortunate that I’ll be spending my fourth summer with young writers through a unique summer writing camp. Each year it gets better and better. At least I think so. That’s because each year I try out some new things, and I go into it excited, which the kids pick up on.

What do I have up my sleeve this year? Fun, of course. We’ll be rolling the dice, squishing in slime, writing poetry inspired by paint-chips, creating coffee filter planets, and more. We’ll be exploring our college campus, creating unusual characters, and taking time out for mother nature. And yes, we’ll write. Will we ever.

This week I get my supplies, meet my teaching buddy, and visit the site (a new one for me). Then, Monday morning, it’s go time. I can’t wait! What fun things do you have planned for this summer?
