Writing Camp

Influence others through the written word.

Good writing has the power to move people and change hearts. At Writing Camp, you’ll learn how to tell your own story, edit your work, and take inspiration from God’s creation. You’ll even get to see all the amazing opportunities that could await you when you tour the Abeka publishing department.

Dedicated and experienced instructors will lead you on a creative journey full of helpful writing instruction and exercises. You’ll leave camp inspired—with new original works you can be proud of.

Registration is open to campers from 14 to 18 years old who have just completed or are entering into grades 9–12.
