Every summer the Kennesaw Mountain Writing Project (KMWP), a National Writing Project site since 1994 located at Kennesaw State University, hosts the Youth Writing Academy (YWA). The YWA is a series of camps where students from all school levels can practice the craft of writing in a supportive environment. Camp leaders are National Writing Project fellows and certified Georgia teachers, well versed in the teaching of writing and its many genres.

The camps this summer will be held June 17-21 from 9am to 1pm and separated by grade level. The cost of the camp is $175 or $160 if students register by April 30.


Young Authors Camp: Elementary school (rising 3rd - 5th)

Creative Writing Camp: Middle and High school (grouped separately)
