Students will spend time on the University of Utah campus and at the Community Writing Center, which is located in the Downtown Library Plaza. Throughout the week, students will engage in a range of different activities relating to how writing builds worlds: our current world, imaginative worlds, and the world of the future. Workshops will focus on journaling, resumes and scholarship essays, flash memoirs and crafting fictional characters. Each afternoon, we will spend time engaging in collaborative world-building through an extended role-playing game (RPG). By the end of the week, each participant will have not only practiced different styles of writing but will have crafted a contribution to the annual Salt Lake Young Writers anthology, which will be published in December 2025.
Scholarships are available for this camp.
