Scribes and Scribblers: Now in their 18th year, our Scribes & Scribblers creative writing camps for kids are more popular than ever! We invite young writers to romp through different lands and discover words, pictures, and stories while making new friends.

Join us this summer and write books, jokes, plays, and poetry – and finish the camp with an official author party, performance, and/or exhibition of your work. No matter which camp you choose, each is a cool and creative adventure with words. For more information on Scribes & Scribblers, please visit www.aspenwriters.org.
