Young Writer’s Summer Camp

Summer 2026 Young Writers’ Camp

Marshall University

Young Writers Camp was a week-long camp for middle school students to dive into creative writing, explore different writing genres, and develop their storytelling skills. Camp was hosted on Marshall University’s campus and culminated in a read aloud event where the young authors shared their writing with friends and family in the Drinko Library Atrium.
