Critters & Creatures: Writers & Illustrators Camp (24CSU25)

August 4–8, 2025

Are you ready to go on a safari at MAG? For the fifth week of camp, we will search the depths of the gallery for camels, birds, elephants, otters, and more! Our artworks will be inspired by amazing animal adaptations – from wings and gills to stripes and fur. Will you erase a tiger’s stripes or give a penguin polka-dots? Mornings will be spent at Writers & Books dreaming up characters, carefully crafting a unique world for your story, building conflict, and writing sentences that zing off the page. Afternoons will be spent at the MAG’s Creative Workshop, learning how to illustrate an idea, choose a fitting style, and draw things you don’t yet know how to draw. At the end of the week, you’ll have the option to present an excerpt from your book and bring home your illustrated copy. All art materials are included.*Please note that Writers & Books members will receive a 10% discount on this program. Please call the Creative Workshop office to register over the phone
