“Thank you so much! (my daughter) absolutely LOVED your camp… Thank you so much for all of your support and positive feedback!”

“When (my daughter) was telling friends about her summer, I was surprised to hear her say the most fun thing she did was writers camp! After all, we took her to Mexico, climbed ruins, played in the water, bought her stuff...”
Elizabeth Uppman
“I am hoping we see you next summer for your youth writers camp. As a teacher, you are such an inspiration. Your workshop fits so much with my idea of learning, which is that education should be about the love of learning, not a grade or test score. Furthermore, I am impressed with how much you focus on children’s strengths and foster a very positive learning environment so that your students feel more inclined to work hard, as well as to create.”
