What if it had all been different as you were finding your way to the place you are? What did your past Self need then (what books, what conversations, what policies) to be more liberated/ confident/ free now?  Together we’ll explore, re-visit, and re-envision histories: experiences we’ve had, stories we’ve heard, and world events around us. We’ll do this by writing, making audio, and moving—creating what our past and future selves need. (Grades 10-12)

Our week-long summer camps, for young people in 4^th-12^th grades and young adults 18+, combine the art of writing and other modes of artistic enrichment to enhance self-esteem and build skills in creative self-expression. Programs are designed to help strengthen participants’ authentic voices, develop their ability to speak out through writing and community-building, and deepen their belief in their own creative intelligence. Our camps are open to young women, girls, and trans and gender nonconforming (TGNC) youth.
