Summer Camp Approaches

Create! Reflect! Discover!
Write On!
This is our 19th year of creating a Fine Lines writing summer camp for students of all ages. Join writers who add clarity and passion to their lives with the written word. We will have fun with sentences, learn to play while developing poems, stories, essays, and discover creative corners of our minds that we did not know existed. Metaphorically, we will take our journals under “shade trees” and talk about issues that matter. We will swim around important “buoys” on our writing journeys. We will row boats to “lighthouses” that show us our own paths through the fog of life. We will take our minds for “jogs” to libraries.
Where: University of Nebraska-Milo Bail Student Union
Nebraska Room – Second Floor
6001 Dodge Street, Omaha, NE 68801
When: July 16-20, 8:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Use PayPal or make checks out to Fine Lines ($150/person). The registration fee includes a camp T-shirt, snacks, guest speakers, editing help, and possible publication in the Fine Lines quarterly journal.
