This is our eleventh year sponsoring Fine Lines creative writing summer camps for students of all ages. Join writers who add clarity and passion to their lives with the written word.
We will have fun with words, learn to play while developing poems-stories-essays, and discover creative corners of our minds that we did not know existed. Metaphorically, we will take our journal under a “shade tree” and talk together about issues that matter. We will swim around important “buoys” in our educational journeys. We will row a boat to a “lighthouse” that shows us our path through the fog. We will take our minds for a “jog” to the library. We will learn to write more, write faster, and write better. More than anything, though, we will create time to dream about our ideas and celebrate the power and beauty of words.
Where: Beveridge Magnet Middle School
When: June 14-18, 8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. (more…)
Fine Lines is entering its eighteenth consecutive year of providing a place
where creative writers can share their written ideas with others. The
journal, therefore, is dedicated to the writing development of all its
members. What started out as a classroom project is now a fifty-state
network of authors who love the written word and have the support of a
501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

“Writing to some people is a joke. To me, it is my life. I have never
been in a place where I have felt so welcome, because of my talent.”
Ellen Garfoot
“I plan to keep on writing, because now, the words just flow in my
head. Before this camp, that did not happen. I think this experience
made me a better writer.” Mandie Livermore
“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
music.” Catie Doran
“This camp was the best experience I have had in a long time, because
not only did I enjoy it, but I could share my writing gift with others.”
Andrea Dai
“I was surprised how many jobs are connected to good writing techniques.”
Taylor Sutherland
