Do you have a budding author in your family? Sign them up for Young Writers Camp in University of Houston-Clear Lake’s Kids U summer program, July 10-13, for students in grades 7-12.
The four-day camp features two sessions taught by UHCL College of Education Instructional Associate Emma Sobey. The 8:30-11:30 a.m. session, titled “Mysteria Mania: Games, Mysteries, Puzzles, and More,” will focus on critical-thinking and deductive-reasoning skills. Students will solve a variety of mysteries, logic puzzles and strategy games to help them understand how authors use clues to entice and surprise readers.
From noon – 3 p.m., students will explore brainstorming techniques and writing strategies in a session titled, “Write Your Own Adventure Stories,” which will improve their creative and academic writing.
Morning and afternoon sessions are $139 each. Sessions are limited to 10 students each. The Writing Camp is held in the center Arbor Building, 2700 Bay Area Blvd., Houston.
