Leading TYWI Summer Camp is an excellent way to develop your teaching, writing, and leadership skills. In our past three summer camps, we have fostered global community building that united young writers.
Here at TYWI, we believe in the power of community, applying one’s voice, and an interdisciplinary education in creative writing, despite income, region, or ethnicity. We aim to empower more people to be better writers, and summer camp is core to that mission.
