Creative writing comes in many shapes and sizes, but heading into the great outdoors for inspiration is a summer non-negotiable. We’ll put pen to paper under the setting sun as we workshop ideas for poems and postcard stories. The break between school years can often feel vast and as we move through the grades (perhaps beginning to think about university or college) it is advantageous to keep our creative juices flowing during the unscheduled summer months. Whether you feel like a writing refresher or want to work more on a passion project, we will give our expert guidance and editing advice to all campers across the week. You can alternate between favourite poetic forms and dipping your toe in the waters of something new, safe in the knowledge that you’ll be supported every step of the way. 

As a group, we’ll write outdoors on some of Vancouver’s most picturesque beaches (weather permitting), but our rainy day alternative will be to hole up in the cozy corners of the Lyceum with hot chocolate, popcorn and something sweet to eat.
