The Goucher Young Writers’ Camp is a one-week intensive creative writing workshop for high schoolers who love to write! Spend five days exploring fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction with award-winning writers and editors. Our seventh annual creative writing camp will take place on Goucher College’s beautiful 287-acre campus from June 22-26, 2026. Campers at the GYWC work with experienced author-instructors at the college’s renowned Kratz Center for Creative Writing to study multiple genres of creative writing in author-led workshops, participate in interactive writing activities and games, attend in-person seminars with visiting authors, start thinking about personal essays for college applications, learn about college life and the admissions process from college counselors and current Goucher students, and work with professional literary editors to create an anthology of camp writing at the end of the week.
