This summer, set your creative spirit ablaze with IGNITE!, our inaugural Writing Camp for Adults, to take place in the evenings on the week of June 17. You're welcome to attend all five sessions or opt for individual drop-in sessions as you prefer.

Whether you’re tangled in the web of writer’s block, seeking to establish a steady writing practice, or simply in search of a creative community, IGNITE! is your beacon. Each evening, Monday through Friday, immerse yourself in transformative sessions led by a diverse lineup of instructors, each bringing their own innovative and possibly intersecting approaches to the craft of writing. Our camp caters to enthusiasts of all genres, aiming to motivate, inspire, and perhaps most importantly, to move you from inertia to action. The grand finale? A celebratory open mic night in our cozy backyard setting, where participants, instructors, and community members alike gather to share and revel in the week's harvest of words—all over refreshing drinks and light fare.

• Friday, June 21, 6-8pm: Focus & Flow with Melissa Jean: Embrace mindfulness in your writing to foster focus, flow, and a deeper connection with your creative projects.
