Youth Camps

Offering time and inspiration, Minnesota Writing Project Young Writers Camps support young writers in a collaborative atmosphere where they can explore writing against the backdrop of the University of Minnesota. Join other young writers to meet new friends and write! In the morning, young writers will participate in activities led by Minnesota Writing Project Fellows and experienced teachers of writing including writing daily around the University campus. In the afternoon, campers will visit cool places around the University such as the Weisman Art Museum, the underground archives library, and the Aerospace building.
