Are you all set for summer? We're normally last-minute people, but when it comes to summer, we have to think MONTHS ahead so we can have our summer writing program ALL. SET. UP. And ready to go by June 20th.

This is a picture of my (Carrie's) daughter Anna four years ago at camp. Camp actually STARTED the year she was born, so this little girl has literally grown up at writing camp.

And now, as a sophomore in high school, she's a strong writer and coming back to camp as a writing coach!

This same story belongs to so many children in the Salt Lake Valley who have grown up at writing camp. Each summer, they are a little bit taller and even more skilled with their pens on the page!

It's a beautiful tradition that raises up children to become strong writers, a skill that often gets the short side in a busy school classroom. It's the summer boost kids need to learn writing the way it's meant to be taught.

Join us at Westminster College, June 20th-23th for our 16th annual writing camp. It's an excellent way to get a jump start on your summer plans!

Our latest Writer's Box has children writing (and solving!) all sorts of mysteries. There's the "Mystery of the Locked Gate," the "Mystery of the Missing Cupcake," and the "Mystery of the Empty Chalkboard" just to name a few!

The thing that makes the Writer's Box different is that we've cracked the code on how to make writing FUN for kids. Parents come to us because they want to make writing "fun again" for their kids and help them actually BECOME writers.

We can help you get your child there. Join us! www.writeonworkshops.com

As moms, we learn to get good at keeping our eyes looking ahead.

We need to be ready for the next birthday, the next project, the next play date, the next holiday!

In our minds, when it’s March, it’s practically summer! We get things that matter right on the calendar!

Writing camp is one of them. June 13-17 in person at Westminster and June 20-22 online in our Zoom rooms.

We will take your child to the next level in writing and set them up on a journey for success. This kind of work needs a spot on the family calendar!

Link for sign up is in our bio!

One lesson we’ve learned
the past two years is: take nothing for granted!

Our camera rolls are filledwith scenes like this one from over a decade of summer writing camps.

That’s over a decade of kids writing with old and new friends outside under the trees of Westminster College just like this picture.

But we’ve learned that scenes like this aren’t so easy to come by.

Everyday a gift!

We are so grateful we can offer camp live and in person. We are also grateful that we learned how fun and powerful online camp can be.

This summer we get to offer both. It’s such a gift!

Are you signing up your writer for camp? What questions do you have? We’re right here! Write On!

02/25/2022

We haven’t even announced it yet, but camp is already filling up!

Live session is June 13th-17th at Westminster College in Salt Lake City.

Online June 20th-23rd.

We’d love to write with your writer!

Emily is modeling the idea of reading like a writer, which means that we read a book out loud and comment on the cool writing moves that an author uses to craft a great book! Because our latest box is all about writing letters, and zooming in on the significant details, Emily is reading I Wanna Iguana by Karen Kaufman Orloff and David Catrow. This is a great book to use when teaching opinion writing! The letters back and forth between this child and his mom are motivated by a child’s deep desire for a pet Iguana. This is Emily’s first live and we are excited to share this with you and your children!

Write daily and children complain when they miss it.

Write once and awhile and children complain when they do it.

Promise.

The writing habit matters.

Look for chances to call your child a writer.

“Hey, you’re a writer, can you help me figure out how to say this?”

“Ahh, I like the way you said that. You’re becoming a strong writer.”

“Only a writer would be able to do what you just did there.”

When they start to believe you, and call themselves “writer,” there is no going back.

They try harder.

They revise more.

They have more courage.

They write more.

Think it over. Look for opportunities. Give them lots of chances to grow into what they can become.

Write On!

Raise your hand if you had to write something today!
🙋‍♀️🙋🙋‍♂️

Of course you did. It is next to impossible to find a life path that doesn’t include writing.

Writing is a life skill.

Writing well is a superpower that makes life much easier.

Tell in the comments how writing is a part of what you do in a day!

Well, it’s not a Valentine.

It’s a Writer’s Box.

But it is sent to each writer with great love and encouragement for trying new things and growing as writers.

This round we are sending materials and invitations for writers to connect and send their words and best wishes through thoughtfully written, “zoomed in” letter writing.

Swipe to see a few items our writers will find inside.

Want your writer to get in on the fun? Join us! We will put your writer’s name on a box immediately and send a bright orange nix to your door!

Write On! 🧡
