The Dakota Writing Project's Sorcerer's Apprentice Creative Writing Camp is set for this spring! It typically takes place in the fall, but this year, it will be in March and expanded as the Dakota Writing Project pairs up with the Vermilion Literacy Project.
The camp itself is a one-day workshop for high school students with a genuine interest in writing and will take place on Saturday, March 28. This workshop is intended to bring "together high school writers with dedicated teacher-writer professionals...for a day of writing and collaboration that promises to be a magical apprenticeship." Throughout the day, students will have the opportunity to explore a variety of creative genres and partake in revision exercises. The day culminates with a chance to perform the day's work.
New this year is an expansion to include a few Friday events on March 27th. A 3-hour writing marathon will kick-off the day at 12:30, followed by a reading by USD faculty member and published author Natanya Pulley at 4 pm. The day will culminate with a poetry slam that evening.
If you have a student who may be interested, please encourage them to explore this writing opportunity. The camp website has not yet been updated, but eventually, more information will be available here, along with the registration form. In the past, student registration fees have included the workshop, a camp t-shirt, a copy of the Vermilion Literary Project magazine, lunch, and workshop refreshments. There are scholarships available for students with financial needs; please email dwp@usd.edu for more information.
