Future authors attend Young Writers Camp at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock]]> The camp for writers in third through sixth grade happened to coincide with a planned visit to her grandparents in Little Rock while Mullins鈥 parents were traveling to celebrate their anniversary. 鈥淚 loved camp,鈥 Maddy Mullins said. 鈥淚t was a lot of fun. I liked being creative through all the writing activities.鈥 Each day started with participants writing about a prompt, such as finding a talking dog on the front porch. They also worked in small writing groups, and read in front of other participants. Campers created a writer鈥檚 notebook and composed poems about their heritage. In addition, they developed original characters, turned them into stick puppets, and wrote a skit about them. 鈥淭his has been a full, fun-filled week of writing,鈥 said Pam Maisen, director of Young Writers Camp. 鈥淓ach day we were able to use our imagination, expand our vocabulary, and explore various ways to make writing come alive. Many stories, friendships, and lasting memories were created this week.鈥 Young Writers Camp is one of many summer camps that 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock hosts to explore skills in musical theatre, writing, computer coding, robotics, basketball, volleyball, swimming, soccer, and more. The culmination of the camp was an anthology, containing a story written by each of the 2o campers. During the closing reception on Friday, June 23, campers excitedly shared these anthologies and read their stories in front of a room packed with proud parents, grandparents, and siblings. Dent Gitchel, assistant professor in the rehabilitation counseling program at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock, said his daughter, Lilah Gitchell, couldn鈥檛 wait to go to camp. 鈥淗er self-confidence in writing has grown,鈥 Gitchel said. 鈥淪he鈥檚 always been creative. This week, she鈥檚 been working to develop her stories at home. She鈥檚 always borrowing my phone, opening up the notes app, and working on her stories wherever we go.鈥 After attending the camp, Lilah has found her future career. 鈥淚 want to be a writer when I grow up,鈥 she said.
