About This Activity
Embark on an enchanting literary journey with “Word Wizards” led by Rhiannon Conley. Dive into the magical world of writing as we explore a different genre each day, from crafting compelling fiction to weaving evocative poetry and delving into captivating creative nonfiction. With Rhiannon’s expertise and guidance, budding writers will hone their storytelling skills and unlock their imaginations. Each day will be filled with engaging activities, including writing prompts, wonder walks, zine making, and word games, fostering creativity and inspiration. Campers will also enjoy age-appropriate research and reading activities, utilizing the resources of the Chester Fritz Library for exploration and discovery. In the spirit of collaboration, we’ll blend visual arts and writing, creating collages, ekphrastic poetry, and erasure poetry inspired by the museum’s vibrant surroundings. Breaks for mindfulness, movement, and music will ensure a balanced and enriching experience. The week culminates in a grand open mic event, where campers can share their literary creations with pride and celebrate the power of storytelling. “Word Wizards” isn’t just about writing—it’s about unleashing creativity, building confidence, and fostering a lifelong love for the written word.
