WARRENSBURG, MO - Students from throughout the metropolitan area are invited to participate in 2023 Young Writers Camps, offered from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, either June 20-23 or July 11-14 at the Anita Gorman Discovery Center in Kauffman Legacy Park in Kansas City.

The creative writing camps, offered since 1983 by the Greater Kansas City Writing Project (GKCWP) and the University of Central Missouri, provide participants with a creative and supportive environment. Each session is designed and led by experienced teachers of writing.

 The camps are created for middle and high school students who already love writing and want to enjoy writing more. At the end of each session, young writers will share their favorite pieces with friends and families at an open mic celebration.

 “Each year, we work with diverse young writers, from those who want to bring a fantasy novel they are currently working on to budding poets looking for inspiration to writers needing to find encouragement to share their ideas,” said Katie Kline, director of the Greater Kansas City Writing Project.

Early bird registration (by May 1) is $225. Cost is $275 for registration after May 1. For more information and to register, visit this webpage
