Butler University Creative Writing Camp

A Community for Young Writers

Creative Writing Camp combines learning, laughter, and compassion to inspire young writers and readers. The program connects bright, young people with talented mentors and like-minded peers to nurture intellectual and artistic discovery.

This learning-rich community rejects a narrow version of education, in which, too often, assessment structures learning. We reach for a goal that is harder to define: enhancing creativity, developing the imagination, and finding our own voices. We help our students and campers be so engaged with the joys of literary arts that they don’t even notice how much they are learning.
