ENROLLMENT FOR 2009 OPENING SOON!

Build writing skills for the real world and unleash your creativity in a setting that caters to young writers who expect more than a classroom experience, as Mercersburg presents a unique opportunity, a writing camp founded on the principle that language is at the core of everything that we do and thus does much to define who we are.

Join other young scribes, as you explore the beauty of poetic style, the strength of words used well, the power of your own voice on paper.  Spend time on skill development, then move to your preference of our specialty workshops that feature genres ranging from historical fiction to science fiction.

Choose from our diverse afternoon activity offerings (climbing walls, pilates/yoga, tennis, hiking, etc.) and enjoy a series of story tellers, poets, and other presenters at coffee houses and round tables in the evenings. Our young writers also travel to Civil War battlefields, enjoy performances at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, and ride mystery trains to gain experience and inspiration for their endeavors.
