SUMMER Writing Camps for young writers, ages 7-13. AM and PM Sessions!
Albany Middle School English teacher, Abby Skrivan, MA, offers these engaging, supportive summer camps with the aim of making writing fun! Participants will develop and deepen their mastery of the writing process in small, collaborative groups. They will take part in a wide range of writing exercises, including cooperative games, poetry, story writing and peer editing. Students will explore their ideas through writing and develop their skills at refining and polishing a finished piece. Revised pieces will be published in a magazine which students can take home at the culmination of this unforgettable week! Note: students who attended in the summer of 2024 or to previous after-school classes are encouraged to attend! Each session will have a different focus and we will build on previous skills. These classes are designed for both the enthusiastic and the reluctant writer!

My daughter would come home energized…she was inspired to keep going! I highly recommend this camp for any child who has an interest in writing.
