Summer Writers Camp

Stories Waiting to be Shared

Our all-abilities, virtual Writer’s Camp is a fun, interactive, and supportive space where adults with intellectual disabilities and autism can create their own creative work. Every session features a new topic, ensuring there is always a fresh adventure waiting for them.

This camp is built to celebrate every kind of storyteller—whether they prefer to write, type, or draw their ideas. No formal writing experience is needed. Students are supported at their individual level as they explore creative writing, storytelling, and expression.

Students also have the option to have their work included in our annual anthology.

"[Student] loved the class and ... it inspired her to write a story that she would never have told otherwise.
