It’s Not Too Late! Summer Camp Registration is Still Open
Summer Ink where you… Express yourself in creative ways. Make new friends and collaborate on cool projects. Create, publish, and perform.
At Lake Erie Ink’s week-long summer camps, youth (entering grades 2-12) explore their imaginations, develop writing skills, and collaborate with peers. Summer camps start June 18th and dig deep into fun writing genres, including comics, ‘zines, plays, puppets, and more, giving youth the chance to create writing and art that builds literacy skills and reminds kids of their own powers of self-expression.
