About Camp
The story of your life would fill a book! But a good way to start that long, demanding journey is with a short memoir (10-20 pages). This dramatic short piece can be based on an experience with place, relationship, trauma, or trip, instrumental in defining your unique self. In this four-week class (with a two- week break) we will do writing exercises and discuss ways to re-contact old memories, create an “I” character, write riveting scenes, and develop a story. The instructor will email you short memoir samples, and suggest writing exercises and strategies to get you started. The last class will be a structured workshop where you share your work with classmates in a supportive environment.Masks are currently optional at County programs and facilities. Questions?
