2024 Summer Camp Dates | June 16-21, 2024
Summer Writing Camp
Calling all storytellers, poets, and memoirists: this summer, the IWU Division of Modern Language and Literature will be offering a Summer Writing Camp segment of the Wildcat Summer Academy. In writing workshops with IWU faculty, students will create original works of poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, and more. Campers will spend the week exploring their own voices as they put pen to paper, then receive feedback, encouragement, and guidance from IWU faculty and student leaders. During the day, campers will workshop their writing with IWU faculty members and student leaders. During the evenings, all students from the Wildcat Summer Academy will unite for games and activities which will conclude with nightly corporate worship.
We hope you will join us this June for Writing Camp, part of the annual Wildcat Summer Academy!
