School One's Write Rhode Island program is open to young writers from grades 7 to 12

WRITE RHODE ISLAND CREATIVE SUMMER INSTITUTE

Find your inner creative self.

The Write Rhode Island Creative Institute is one week camp offered to young creatives in grades 7-12. Our institute is a chance for students to immerse themselves in a community of young writers and artists with shared creative interests and to learn from professionals who are as passionate about their craft as they are. Students will have the opportunity to write an original story, make a book, create a character or build a sculpture.

2025 Summer Camp registration starts February 1!

We are excited to work with writers and artists of all skill levels and backgrounds. Our summer program age distinctions are for students who are entering those grades in the upcoming fall school year.

We have need-based scholarships available and will do our best to ensure our programming is accessible for everyone. Our program offers the option to pay at 50%, 85% or 100% of the registration amount. Please request a scholarship application from Diana C. for more information. A spot will be reserved for you while we review your application.

“Writing is like detective work: to reveal the story, you pull at the threads which will force the story to reveal itself. My goal as a teacher is to help you understand how to spot the clues.”

– Mark Fogarty, Writer and GrubStreet Instructor

– Amanda Kallis, Writer and School One Faculty
