Paper Pen & Imagination Day Camp is back for the 4th consecutive summer.

This unique creative writing camp for rising 4th - 7th graders in Nashville is always the first week of August — this year August 3 - 7, 2009.

bailey-woodward_editedI started this camp as a service to the community — for families looking for a serious creative writing camp for young kids who truly want to express themselves on paper and spend time with other authors-in-training.

There is the 1/2 day and full-day option for that week (full day is 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.).

PPI Day Camp probably is not a good fit for kids who wince at putting pen to paper…it’s for the young person who has so many thoughts and ideas that just come tumbling out. This week provides a little help with structure in making their wonderful stories, poems and plays come more tightly into focus for them.

The program is taught by award-winning published authors who have experience in a classroom setting.  Each day is a new adventure in stretching the kids’ ideas about creative thinking and ability to communicate through the written word.
