Camp Brainy Bunch

Camp Brainy Bunch organizes annual summer writing camps for the young Hemingways and Austens of this world. The day camp has a collection of classes and hands-on activities to strengthen your child's foundation in written communication.

The writing program at Camp Brainy Bunch is divided into various age-appropriate categories. This ensures students are comfortable learning the material and practicing lessons learned in class.

The youngest campers (grades 1-2) learn the fundamentals of non-fiction writing, especially the art and science of researching and explaining facts. This camp culminates in the production of a research book available to all campers.

The next set (3-4) receives in-depth instruction in expository writing fields, such as journalism. Campers in this category learn the basics of journalistic writing, including researching, writing, and publishing human-interest stories. At the end of the camp, children get to participate in the production of a real magazine.

Older writers continue to develop their journalistic writing skills. Areas covered at this stage include journalistic ethics, feature writing, and magazine/newspaper composition.

In addition to its writing development classes, Camp Brainy Bunch organizes fun activities for students to keep them engaged and active.
