Summer Ink has Arrived!
Summer Ink Writing Camps
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 in June 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.
