BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Creative Writing Camp is a collaboration between Writers in the Schools and Rice University’s School Literacy and Culture and has inspired young writers for over 30 years. For more details visit witshouston.org/camp-faq

Writing Camp in partnership with the University of Houston Downtown is the place for young writers looking to find or develop their voices. The courses range from skills for beginning writers to skills for students who are preparing to enter college.

Camps at Evelyn Rubenstein JCC Houston give children an opportunity to learn by reading literature and practicing writing in a work as published authors. First and Second-grade campers demonstrate improved reading and writing skills, increased confidence, and enhanced creativity.

The WITS Writers Workshop at Duchesne is designed to get students excited about writing. Writers Workshop follows classic writing workshop guidelines to provide constructive feedback to a writer in a small group setting.

In celebration of Black History Month, this generative workshop will focus on documenting artifacts of Black joy in our everyday lives. Who or what keeps you laughing, singing, and shouting? What memory or event would you submit that represents us in our most beautiful and blissful form?

Featuring Readings by Outspoken Bean, Brittny Ray Crowell, Vincent Johnson, Shiarince "Lyric" Taylor, and Janette Hendrix
