Not Just About Writing!

YouthWrite is about writing, but also so much more:

Meet other aspiring young writers like you.
Leave your parents and siblings and everyday life behind to revel in a retreat setting.
Try new things that perhaps you've never tried before: yoga and writing, drumming and words, songwriting, illustrating, cartooning, screenwriting, improvisation and writing, body percussion and words, and so much more. Who knows what you'll learn about yourself?
Perform at the Inklings and at the WordPlayful Wrap-up!
Work one-on-one at the Blue Pencil Café!
Be dazzled by our evening guest performers!
Be lulled to sleep by our traditional bedtime story!
Prepare to be amazed by the WordPlayful Players at the BEEG and LEETLE SHOWs!!!
