Barrington Hall Hosts Creative Writing Summer Day Camps for Kids

From Barrington Hall: Roswell’s historic Barrington Hall will continue its fifth year of children’s creative writing summer camps in

June and July. The camps are designed for children ages 10 to 14 and will be held Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This year’s camp schedule is:

• June 19 - 23: Basic Camp
• June 26 - 30: Basic Camp
• July 10 - 14: Basic Camp
• July 17 - 21: Advanced Camp
• July 24 - 28: Advanced Camp

The camps are led by award-winning children’s book author Mary Ann Rodman. In 2010, Rodman’s young adult novel Yankee Girl was chosen for inclusion in the Georgia Center for the Books’ inaugural list of “25 Books All Young Georgians Should Read.” Rodman uses guided exercises, along with field trips that inspire and encourage creative thinking, to teach participants how to tell stories clearly while engaging their audience.

The cost per child is $250 per camp. Space is limited to 12 children per camp. For more information or to reserve a spot, call 770-640-3855.
