Holiday Creative Writing Camp

Learn the secrets of writing great stories from an award-winning author. "Write Like an Author" is a school holiday program for young writers.

Held in a fun and supportive setting at Scots College in Wellington this camp will see children develop and write stories with help from award-winning author Maria Gill.

Maria is the award-winning author of over 60 books. She has won the New Zealand Book Awards for Children & Young Adults Non-Fiction, and the Margaret Mahy Best Book of the Year Award.

It will be held during the school holidays, from Tuesday, 11st October 2022 to Thursday, 13th October 2022.

There will be a three-day camp for children aged 9 to 14 and a one-day workshop for children aged 7 to 10.

Young writers will learn:
- How to come up with story ideas
- How to plan and outline a story
- How to come up with interesting, sympathetic characters
- The writing process, how to put it all down on paper

Plus they'll make new friends and have heaps of fun!

The camp is non-residential, and runs from 9 am to 4 pm each day.

The number of places on the camp is strictly limited so register early if your child is interested in attending the camp.

If your child enjoys creative writing, they are sure to love this special school holiday camp.
