Week of April 17-22, 2011

Wondrous Stories: Writing for Children with Children

Have you been musing about a children’s story? Do you have a tale or character that you want to bring to life? Have you ever wanted to leave a legacy of teachings to children of the world? Isn’t it time for your story to be told?

In this lively experiential workshop, you and your family will be guided by renowned former Disney animator and children’s book author and illustrator, Dave Zaboski, and National Endowment of the Humanities award-winning writing educator, Tesa Conlin, to reveal the story that is in your heart.

We will engage in writing, drawing, painting, photography, collage, and anything else within reach as parents and children craft their stories together.

From the glow of the campfire, songs and stories will emerge, be crafted into form, and imagined into pictures. Finally, your family will complete the week with a presentable mock-up book in hand to share with family, friends, and maybe even a publisher or two!

Come together to play, unite, and create your dream while producing a family treasure. This workshop is for people with ideas, with tales to tell, dreams to fulfill, and all families who want to spend more quality creative time together. (We recommend kids ages 4 and up.)

($80 materials fee paid directly to the leaders)
