The Summer Writing Workshop is for
children ages 8 to 15. They offer three different workshops,
each designed for a specific age group. The elementary program
is designed for kids entering third and fourth grade. The
intermediate program is for kids entering fifth and sixth.
Their middle school program caters to kids entering seventh
grade and higher. The ideas, strategies, and methods used
in this program will stimulate your child’s interest
in writing now and in the future. Students will leave this
one-week program with the confidence and tools that will allow
them to enjoy writing. The five-day workshop runs three hours
each day. Your child will be writing, discussing, planning,
evaluating, critiquing, revising and editing in a small group
atmosphere. They will also have fun, laugh, and remember that
it is summer. The subject material is serious and academic,
but the atmosphere will be light and fun. Summer Writing Workshop
is the perfect mixture of a traditional fun summer program
with a new and unique academic approach. Summer Writing Workshop
means writing success! Call Jeff Akin, certified teacher and
