Stories in a Flash

for ages 10 and up

June 8th – 12th

10 am – 2 pm

Reading last day of Camp starting at 2pm

Every hero needs a flaw. Every villain needs a reason. And every story needs a best friend (or rival!). During this camp, writers will craft unforgettable protagonists, scene-stealing side characters, and deep friendships that drive conflict and plot. We’ll explore backstory, motivation, foils, big choices, and rich world-building—moving beyond simple descriptions to build layered, fully realized humans on the page. By week’s end, students will have written a bold, character-driven short story featuring a hero worth rooting for.
