Description

Think spending a week at writing camp would be too much like school? Not if it’s WordsWorth! WordsWorth is a week-long sleepover creative writing residency for young writers who believe in the power of words. Over the course of the week, writers will be completely immersed in the creative and diverse world of writing. Carefully guided by established and respected artist-instructors, writers will experience writing through fiction, poetry, spoken word, music, drama, music, and nonfiction. But the experiences don’t begin and end with the classes, WordsWorth is a place where young writers come together to celebrate writing through friendship, campfires, concerts, open mic sessions, hikes and haikus and rousing games of Death Polo in the pool.

Visit www.youngalbertawriters.com for course descriptions and instructor bios!

What you need to register:

To make coordinating WordsWorth as quick and easy as possible, we like to get as much information from participants when they first sign up. When you submit your registration through EventBrite, you'll be asked to fill out a somewhat long questionnaire. You'll have 90 minutes to fill it out before your order expires, but if you get the following information together beforehand, it won't take nearly that long!

- Medical information (including health care number, additional insurance info, info on any prescription medications you might take, etc.)

- The name and contact info of at least one emergency contact other than a parent/guardian

- If you have never attended WordsWorth before, you will need to provide a short writing sample (max 1000 words) and a 300 word statement about why you'd like to attend WordsWorth.

T-shirt Orders:
An option for a t-shirt order ($20.00 each) is available at the bottom of the registration form. To add a t-shirt to your order, simply click on "WordsWorth 2014 T-Shirt" under "Additional Items" and select the size and number that you want. To order another t-shirt in another size, you just need to click "WordsWorth 2014 T-shirt" again!

Registration deadline is June 30, 2014
