“Our daughter felt she was taken seriously as a writer and became part of a community” —Middle school parent

For eight years now, Badgerdog has offered young writers the opportunity to explore their imaginations, work with professional authors, and form a community of writers at our annual Creative Writing Summer Camp.

“A big plus for reluctant writers” —Middle school parent

During each three-week session, writers explore different genres and learn to revise and edit their work for publication and performance in fun, interactive workshops.

“It’s so much more hands-on than school. I got more one-on-one help.”—Middle school writer

Each session involves . . .

A field trip:

Publication of our writers’ work in a beautiful anthology:

Two readings! Including a community-wide reading where writers perform their work for 150+ audience members (and sign autographs afterward!):

Badgerdog offers its Creative Writing Camp at five different locations:

We’re glad you stopped by for a behind-the-scenes look into what’s going on in the Badgerdog Den (the scientific term for our Education Programs). Here’s where we’ll chat with our Badgerdog Creative Writing Summer Camp instructors, where you can get a sneak peek into our in-school programs, see what we’re doing in the community, read work from our Silver Voices writers, fawn over the publications of our instructors, and meet our staff.  We hope you’ll stop by often and let us know you did with a comment or question.
