The 3rd Annual Creative Writing Camp took place February 19-22. This year's camp had a total of 25 youth from Boston public, private, charter schools and METCO schools. The youth, in grades 7-11, are working with published authors in refining their writing skills in poetry, fiction, essay, prose and rap. Also as a part of the camp, the students are working on performance skills with a local director.
