See specific camp description that you will be required to develop a five day curriculum:
July 13-17, 2026 Arts Inspire Writing Workshop: Step into a space where words, movement, music, and visual art spark unforgettable stories! Arts-Based Writing Camp invites middle school creators to explore how the arts can ignite imagination and transform writing into something bold, expressive, and alive. Create Across the Canvas: Campers will dive into drawing, collage, poetry, storytelling, and dramatic expression-discovering how each art form can shape voice, mood, and meaning on the page. Inspire & Experiment: Through sensory prompts, music-infused writing sessions, and visual thinking activities, campers will stretch their creativity and uncover new ways of telling their story. Expect color, rhythm, and plenty of "I never thought of it that way!" moments. Hands-On, Minds-Open: Each day blends artistic play with structured writing practice. From character portraits to found-poetry pieces to storyboards inspired by movement or sound, campers will see how art becomes a doorway into deeper, more imaginative writing. Build Your Voice: With guidance from teaching artists and peer collaborators, students will revise, reflect, and take creative risks. The camp celebrates individuality-every camper's artistic identity and writing style matter here. A Week of Creative Fusion: By the end of camp, writers will leave with a curated portfolio of art-infused writing, a boosted sense of confidence, and a toolkit for using the arts to inspire any project they take on.
