The Art of the Short Story

All Day Camp

Take a deep dive into short stories! In this camp we will be exploring short stories from authors like Ray Bradbury and Shirley Jackson for their literary devices and storytelling abilities and how they connect with the various writing strategies. Immersing ourselves in both reading and writing, allows friends to walk away from this camp with not only greater reading and writing skills but a deeper appreciation for storytelling. Dustin teaches writing at RVNS and has spent summers at Columbia University’s reading and writing workshops..

Healthy Minds

This camp will help foster self-awareness in children as they practice mindfulness in nature, learn how to identify and recognize comfortable and uncomfortable feelings, learn about the brain and develop ways to gain greater self-regulation. There will also be time for imaginative and active play in nature, vital for healthy minds.
