School Holiday Writing and Art Camps
It's been a tough year for everybody. Due to Covid-19 we've had to cancel all our popular school holiday writing and art camps. But we're back!
"Write like an Author" is an internationally acclaimed writing course that teaches young writers the skills and techniques that professional authors use to create their stories. During the camp, each participant will develop and write an original creative story under the guidance of well-known author and writing coach Maria Gill.
"Draw Like an Artist" is our concurrent illustration course that teaches young artists the skills and techniques that professional illustrators use. The presenter is Fifi Colston.
Their websites are www.writelikeanauthor.com and www.drawlikeanartist.com.
The camps will be held at Raroa Intermediate during the school holidays, starting on Tuesday, 29 September, and running until Thursday, 1 October, 2020.
The writing camp is ideal for young people who have a dream of becoming a published author or anyone who wants to improve their writing skills. The art camp offers the same opportunity to young artists.
The camps are non-residential, and run from 9am to 4pm each day. The number of places on the camp is strictly limited. A flyer about the camp is attached.
