Teen Poetry Summer Camps are free and open to poetry-loving youth of all experience levels. Participants will meet once a week for three weeks to read, discuss, and respond to contemporary works of poetry. Participants will analyze a variety of poetic works, and learn poetic and storytelling skills through the creation of their own work. Lessons include a range of activities designed to strengthen poetic and storytelling skills and develop personal creativity. Campers will have the opportunity to explore the Foundation's library and create their own work in response to what they find there.
