What Is Lighthouse Young Writers Summer Camps?
Lighthouse Writers Workshop's Young Writers Program runs small, one-week creative-writing camps for ages 7-18. The completed 2026 season offered both live online and in-person Denver sessions, Monday through Friday, in age bands such as 7-10, 11-13 and 14-18. Groups were generally limited to 6-12 writers and led by published or award-winning authors.
Camp topics varied by session: fiction, poetry, screenwriting, college essays, playwriting, speculative work, graphic storytelling and other genres. Writers generated new work, discussed craft, shared and revised in a supportive workshop, and often completed at least one piece. Some camps ended with an optional reading or showcase. Outcomes depend on the selected class; enrollment does not guarantee publication, an award, recommendation, academic credit or college admission.
