Central Arizona Writing Project’s

Young Adult Writing Program (Y.A.W.P.)

What is YAWP?

A component of theCentral Arizona Writing Project, YAWP Young Adult Writing Program (formerly Rl Txt) is a program designed to offer young writers a non-evaluative environment in which to explore the power of writing.

What do Camps Look Like? Offering time and inspiration,YAWPsessions support writers in a collaborative atmosphere as they interact with other youth authors and share works in progress.YAWPsessions engages young writersin crafting a variety of writing forms, such as poems, autobiographical sketches, heart maps, short stories, arguments, nature/science observations, craft secrets, and daily writing workshops. Each camper chooses a piece of writing for publication in the camp anthology.

Who are the Teachers? YAWP has a staff of outstanding, certified classroom teachers who have completed CAWP’s Invitational Summer Institute in teaching composition and critical literacy to become Teacher-Consultants. All Young Writers Camp teachers and staff members continually implement writing in their personal and professional lives.

Who Should Attend? YAWP is a space for those who enjoy writing and hope to spend time developing and honing their craft. Writers of all skill levels are welcome, with the only requirement that the students themselves must actively want to attend camp each day and be willing to maintain a positive, respectful attitude throughout. Our goal is to make sure that everyone involved is learning, having fun, and enjoying the process.
