The only camp of its kind in the world!
Open to young authors age 10 - 13, Author Quest is 4 days/3 nights of writing courses, instruction, and classes at Wolverine Camps in Wolverine, nestled in beautiful northern lower Michigan. Oh, there will be lots of other fun activities, too . . . but this camp's main focus is on becoming an even better writer! Instructors include Johnathan Rand and other published authors! No matter what kind of writing you enjoy: fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, thriller/horror, humor, mystery, poetry, history . . . this camp is designed for writers who have this in common: they LOVE to write, and they want to improve their skills!
What will you do at Author Quest? You will write. Then, you'll write more. And more. This camp is ONLY for students who take their writing seriously, and, if your application is accepted, you'll write more in four days than you may have ever written before . . . and have a great time doing it! Of course, there will be many other activities to enjoy, including some *special* surprise events!
Cost is $400 per student, which includes all meals and activities. A refundable $100 deposit is required upon the acceptance of your application. Note that each student will be responsible for various necessities such as toiletry items, bedding, etc. A map to Wolverine Camps and a list of what to bring and what not to bring will be included in your application packet upon acceptance to camp. (Advance warning: NO PHONES, video games, mp3 or CD players will be allowed! These will be confiscated and sold at auction on-line. Camp counselors will split the money! You've been warned!)
If you'd like to be considered for Author Quest, here's what you need to do:
