Fun Summer Writing Camps

        Through fun, thought-provoking writing exercises and discussion, young writers will find an encouraging community where their creative efforts will shine.   All camps are held at the Thomas Wolfe Memorial site in downtown Asheville. Participants will enjoy writing in the very house that served as the basis for Look Homeward, Angel by Asheville's most famous writer. The location provides lots of opportunity for outside games and discussions as well as walking "writing safaris" when we'll hunt inspiration for characters, dialogue, stories, poems and much more throughout the downtown district. End-of-camp readings are held in the visitor center auditorium for friends and family.


     Camps:

are limited to six or 8 participants depending on age group.
