Course Description

Writers Academy: Week 1 - Summer 2025

The UNH Writers Academy is a place where students are treated as writers. They can put their creative juices to work and improve their skills in a relaxed yet challenging environment. Students will write daily and exchange ideas with other young writers. They will explore various writing styles and meet professional authors who will share their own experiences about becoming successful writers.

T-Shirt: A Writers Academy t-shirt is available for purchase when enrolling for $10. The option will appear in your cart and is only available until May 1. T-shirt size will be indicated while completing the registration questions through CampDoc (see below).

Writers Academy is held at Hamilton Smith Hall, 95 Main St, Durham NH. Details regarding drop off locations, times, and other information are sent via email from program staff to enrolled participants prior to the session start date. Please be sure the email address provided at the time of enrollment is that of a parent/legal guardian, not the participating student.
