Writing camp open to juniors, seniors

Junior and senior writers who want to get a jump-start on the 2009-’10 school year must turn in their applications for the High School Writing Camp at Harriman State Park by Monday. The camp will be Aug. 2-8.

The high school writers will have the opportunity to work together in small groups and one-on-one with professional writers to learn and improve their imaginative writing techniques. Authors Chris Dempsey, Catherine Jones and Nicole LeFavour will be working with the young writers.

To apply, students must submit a writing sample along with their application, which can be found on www.writersatharriman.org.

An anthology of student work will be printed at the end of the camp.

For more information, call Margaret Marti at (208) 426-8996.
