Young Author's Writing Camp

TAMUCC English Undergraduate Program

The camp is designed to provide elementary and middle school students/authors with opportunities to expand their interest in writing and to experience writing as a fun and creative opportunity for self-expression and communication with others.

  •  Act out a skit or play

  •  Share art and writing with new friends

  •  Get digitally creative with technology

  •  Take home a camp book and t-shirt
