Red Oak Young Writers, llc

Many thanks for the enthusiasm, creativity and generosity of our young writers who participated in camp at Mt. Mary College. You are an amazing bunch!

Twenty-six enthusiastic young people wrote up a storm at our Creative Writing Camp held at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts, a fabulous venue for our camps! (Thanks, Wilson Center Staff!)

It’s confirmed: Lots of young people LOVE to write and appreciate the opportunity to spend a week with others like them pursuing their shared passion.

All 4 weeks of our Creative Writing Camps are filled and registration is now closed.

Please try us (early) again next year!
