Fir Acres Writing Workshop

About the activity:

Join a vibrant community of young writers this summer at the Fir Acres Writing Workshop, where creativity flourishes on the beautiful, wooded campus of Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon! For two immersive weeks, sixty high school students from across the country come together to study great writing, craft their own stories, and grow under the guidance of dynamic, published faculty. By day, you'll engage in inspiring workshops, and by night, you'll connect with fellow writers, meet distinguished guest authors, and dive into poetry, fiction, and creative prose. Designed for bright, passionate, and imaginative students, this program offers an unforgettable pre-collegiate experience in one of the most creative cities in the Pacific Northwest. Application deadline is March 7th! Students who complete a precollege summer program and are later admitted to L&C will get preferential consideration for merit-based aid and are guaranteed to receive a minimum of $20,000/year in renewable scholarship funding in the form of a Sequoia or Oregon Maple scholarship.
