Creative minds come together at the Young Authors Camp
Building new worlds, creating mini-zines and sharing ideas is part of what’s to come at this year’s Young Authors Camp. Young minds will discover the power of words using poetry, fiction and creative writing while meeting friends and playing games. This camp, open to incoming sixth- to 12th-graders, will be led in collaboration with NAU’s English education graduate students, who will gain hands-on experience in the classroom while shaping the minds of tomorrow.
