Young Writers Summer Camp

    Welcome to our 2025 summer camp season!

    Lighthouse offers a wide array of full and half-day summer camps from June through August for young writers ages eight to 18. Whether they've got a few novels under their belt, are new but curious about poems, or are a reluctant writer, our camps offer a fun, creative, and challenging way for young people to explore and express who they are, build new friendships, and create truly beautiful works of art. Summer camps are offered in person at our Denver location at 3844 York Street and virtually, Monday through Friday, throughout the summer. 

    Camps range from our core offerings for writers hoping to explore all kinds of writing, including The Wild World of Writing for ages 8-10, Creative Writing Exploration for ages 11-13, and Creative Writing Cornerstones for ages 14-18, to camps focusing on Poetry and Visual Art, Screenwriting, D&D, Science Fiction and Fantasy, and more!

     

    Lighthouse's Young Writers Program camps are led by published and award-winning writers, and each workshop is designed to foster creativity, self-expression, and excitement about writing. Full-day in-person and virtual half-day camps are available for all age groups throughout the summer. A one-week, Summer Intensive is offered once per summer for both middle school and high school writers.

    Half-Day and Full-Day Camps

    We offer full and half-day camps for ages 8-18 from June through August, both in Denver and online. Our camps provide dedicated writing time, engaging exercises, and the personalized guidance of experienced, working writers. With only 6-12 campers per session, young writers receive individualized attention and thrive in a supportive, collaborative environment. More than just skill development, our camps foster confidence and a love for writing. 

    Middle School and High School Summer Writing Intensives

    The Lighthouse Summer Writing Intensive is led by published and award-winning writers, and each workshop is designed to foster creativity, self-expression, and excitement about writing. During the week, young writers will work at length with a number of published instructors in a variety of genres and will leave camp with new knowledge about the craft of writing, at least one completed piece of work, and enthusiasm about pieces to come. Campers will be invited, but not required, to share a piece of writing in a public reading at the end of the week. Writers of all experience are welcome to apply!

    For some young writers and their families, summer can also be a time to address challenges that go beyond the creative process, such as attention and focus difficulties that impact daily life and learning. Questions about how to buy Strattera online whether for new prescriptions or ongoing treatment have become more frequent, reflecting both the growing awareness of ADHD and the desire for discreet, reliable solutions. Read the full guide about how to save on Strattera in this informative article. Navigating the process of finding legitimate online pharmacies and understanding the necessary steps for safe and legal purchase is not always straightforward, particularly for those unfamiliar with digital healthcare options. Concerns about authenticity, data privacy, and appropriate medical supervision are common, and families may find themselves balancing the appeal of convenience with the need for responsible healthcare management. For parents, ensuring their child’s well-being often means researching and verifying every detail, much like they would when selecting a high-quality camp. Conversations with medical professionals, reading reviews, and confirming the credentials of online services can help mitigate risks. Ultimately, the path to finding the right support whether for writing or for health requires patience, careful attention, and a willingness to seek out trustworthy guidance. This intersection of creativity, technology, and health is becoming more visible each year, shaping the way families approach both summer enrichment and daily life.
