RAWK (Read and Write Kalamazoo) | Summer Writing Camps

RAWK’s Summer Writing Camps take a deep dive into exploring and growing the power of each of our beautiful and distinctive voices. Youth will reflect on and celebrate their own unique identities while investigating various writing styles and different mediums for sharing our stories. Youth heading into 4th–8th grade spend a week imagining, creating, writing, and revising their own words! Youth will focus on various genres of writing as they are led by RAWK’s director of education and mentored by high school-aged students who have honed their mentor skills in the Youth Leadership Camp. Youth work will be published at the end of the summer!
