Get Your Kids in the Write Rhythm

U-Write Creative Writing Workshops is tuning up for a fun summer camp experience!  Our guitar teacher Nick McLaughlin will be plucking the strings for our camp authors everyday for half an hour.  We'll have some spare guitars to let the kids try their hands at playing the guitar. 

Nick McLaughlin is a student at Bucks County Community College and has been playing the guitar for five years.  He's been teaching guitar at the Academy of Music and Arts in Southampton for over two years.  Nick brings youthful enthusiasm to his lessons.  The kids are sure to be enthralled by his love of music and ability to translate that into an understanding of notes and rhythm.

Studies have shown that music stimulates the learning process.  Learning music is a sure way to get the kids into the groove of writing.

We hope to see you this summer!  Please check out our schedule in the right column for camp times.

Best Wishes,

Summer Writing

You may think that writing is an individual activity, but some of our best ideas come from brainstorming.  And when the weather is fair and the sun is shining, we'll kick up our own storms.  Join U-Write this summer when we gather under the old oak tree, create characters, draw scenes, make up plots, and write down the stories hiding in our heads. 

A flying sandwich.  Check.
A little girl who digs a tunnel from her lawn to her friend's house.  Check.
Travel to a magical planet where each day is a festival.  Check.
Heroics in school hallways.  Check.

These are just some of the ideas U-Write kids have imagined, refined and formed into stories...stories that delight and amuse the class.  Writing is fun...especially in the summer when our senses come alive in the outdoors.

U-Write is perfect for kids aged 8 to 12 years.  We'll break into age-appropriate groups during the second half of our sessions.  For our fifth- and sixth-graders, we'll focus on the the proper way to write an essay in form and structure that will make them shine when admissions time rolls around.

We'll have fun water games, playacting, and running around in the backyard so we can write notes while we're still breathless with the feeling.  Writing is all about observing and experiencing.

Come on out!!  We'll be looking for you under the old oak tree.
