“I enjoyed all the speakers, but I enjoyed most the two boys who played
a guitar and the piano. Their songs sounded like good poems put to

“This camp was the best experience I have had in a long time, because

Andrea Dai

“I was surprised how many jobs are connected to good writing techniques.”
Taylor Sutherland
