This summer, the Nebraska Writing Project is proud to be sponsoring the Young Writers Camp and the I Love to Write / We Love to Write camps!
The Young Writers Camp (YWC) offers a two-week program (Monday through Friday, 10 am - 1 pm) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. It has slam poetry, fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, mystery, songwriting, poetry, memoir, and screenwriting workshops! Young writers work with professional writers, professors, teachers, and undergraduate interns! It is open to grades 8-12. This camp allows students the opportunity to work one-on-one with a writing mentor, have your work collected in a YWC anthology, and give a public reading of your work on the final day of the camp! The camp costs $250 and scholarships are available. For more information on these scholarships, email Email Stacey Waite at swaite2@unl.edu.
