Word Nerds

Join other enthusiastic writers for a week of hands-on writing activities.  From poetry taboo to rap battles, prose-writing to puns, participants will take tools from a breadth of genres to better their writing.  Whether you’re an emerging writer or a seasoned pro, we are looking for eager writers who want to get passionate about their craft and take a week-long deep dive.  By the end, you will have skills to help you rock the mic, the stage, the bestseller list, or whatever realm you choose. Each day is balanced with a variety of outdoor games and indoor activities led by our camp leaders. 

NOTE: THIS CAMP IS NOT FOR ACADEMIC OR TECHNICAL WRITING, OR IN PREPARATION FOR SCHOOL.

Miranda Krogstad is the instructor for this unique and engaging camp.  Bestselling author and TEDx speaker, her book Glass Half Full of Poetry was released last fall.  A spoken word poet and workshop facilitator, Krogstad has connected with thousands of writers in dozens of cities across Western Canada.  Visit mirandakrogstad.com for more information on the instructor.
