Summer Writing Classes

Writing workshops and classes for young writers near Burlington and Oakville, Ontario.

Residential Creative Writing Classes and Camps near Burlington and Oakville, Ontario.

 

Young writers rarely have the opportunity to become part of a community of like-minded people, being inspired by others who share their dreams. Teenagers who think they might like to write creatively, rarely have the chance to learn how to do so, outside of an English classroom. Our Creative Writing program is designed to meet both sets of needs. Working in the Writing Room and outside under the Centauri Poet-Tree, campers discover the joy of writing, both through structured exercises and individual writing projects. Join us this summer, and unlock the writer in YOU!

Writing is a solitary art. Most of the time, we do it alone. It’s hard to find creative writing classes, and even harder to find a community of young people just like you, who share your interests. A sleep-over writing camp gives you both these things. Excellent classes taught by respected writing teachers from across North America, and the chance to live and work in an exciting arts community, with young writers just like you. You won’t just take creative writing classes together, you’ll hang out, share ideas, and make the special kind of memories that link friends for life.    

 

If you like to spend your time writing, maybe you`ve wondered whether you would fit in at sleep-over camp. All residential camps are filled with extroverts who love sports and thrive in the outdoors - right? WRONG!

 

Centauri Arts Camp is a residential summer program in the Niagara Region of Canada that is designed especially for young arts enthusiasts, many of whom would never otherwise consider sleep-over camp. The camp emphasises community, and provides an environment where every young person is free to be themselves! Creative Writing programs are offered throughout the summer: playwriting, short and long fiction, poetry, non-fiction, song-writing and general writing programs with plenty of choice! All young writers aged 8-18 are welcome, whether they are complete beginners, or have already finished their first novel. The atmosphere is collaborative, and the instructors are young writers who once shared the same dreams as you, and now enjoy careers in the field of writing.

 

 

Centauri Summer Arts Camp is located in the Niagara Region of Ontario, within 1 hour drive of  Oakville, Burlington and  Hamilton.
