Have you ever wanted to talk to a real agent or publisher? Are you tired of having your manuscripts critiqued by non-professionals or paying an editor too much money to change your writing to their voice? Email one page of your in-progress manuscript for an in-class critique of one page of your poetry, article, short story, screenplay, novel, non-fiction book, or children’s book. Optional: You can then send your manuscript for a professional critique (for a critique fee of $50 for up to 25 double-spaced pages + $1/page thereafter, and a list of publishers/agents who are interested in your type of work. Contact Community Ed for this option.) Informative handouts for future use are included in class fee.

Let your imagination take shape! In this playful, hands-on camp, young creators dream up and build forts of all kinds—from cozy blanket hideaways to elaborate outdoor structures. Campers will collaborate to sketch their ideas (underground tunnels, maze forts, tree forts, and more) before bringing them to life using a variety of materials. Together, we’ll explore fort-building in nature, experiment with string and fabric, and even repurpose found objects. Once the forts are complete, campers will invent stories and characters to bring their creations to life—transforming each nook and cranny into a world of adventure.

Gear up to explore new ideas and build a one-of-a-kind game from the ground up. In this hands-on camp, you’ll use cardboard, found objects, and all kinds of art materials to invent a totally original game of your own. Create a board game with epic twists, design a fast-paced card game, build a role-playing adventure, or even storyboard the next hit video game—it’s all up to your imagination. Bring your creativity, your curiosity, and maybe a little friendly competition!
