SUMMER 2013 PROGRAMS for studentSThe Hudson Valley Writing Project has provided summer enrichment programs for writers of all ages for more than ten years. We engage writers in the entire writing process, from pre-writing, drafting, peer response, revision, and editing to publication. In culminating celebrations, we share and publish the work.
YOUNG WRITERS' CAMP @ SUNY New Paltz
In this afternoon program, writers entering grades 4-6 will enjoy writing in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. We will explore many kinds of writing and read children's literature to generate ideas and learn the writers' craft. We'll share drafts of our writing, get feedback, and refine our writing for a class anthology. We will explore the use of digital tools and explore places on the college campus. Students may register for more than one session. Tuition: $200.
