It is for girls who enjoy writing, reflecting and sharing with other writers. The camp promotes leadership skills, and understanding and appreciation of local history, and age-appropriate work in expanding enjoyment of writing.

Registration is $90 for one week or $170 for two weeks. Discounts are available for multiple registrations. Full and partial scholarships are also available. For more information, contact Michelle Henderson at mhenders@indiana.edu or 824-7997.
