Pencils chewed whilst at YouthWrite


YouthWrite was conceived and formed in 1996


by coordinator/creator Gail Sidonie Sobat.  Our first home was the Bennett Centre, Edmonton, AB.  In years to come, YouthWrite expanded to a weekend winter camp, Winter WordPlay and a two-week immersion camp at Kamp Kiwanis, near Bragg Creek, AB.
