Online CAMPS AND Courses

Unleash Your Creativity

Join us for a live workshop or work at your own pace through one of our game-filled learning experiences. Either way, you’ll gain practical strategies for developing as an artist, gain creative momentum, and tap into the power of your voice as you share your work.

Self-Serve Online Courses

Work through these game-filled experiences at your own pace. Like improv classes for writers, Society of Young Inklings online courses faciliate the thinking process involved in generating and developing an idea, step-by-step. As the writer, you get to focus your creativity on your story rather than on the process of getting those ideas out of your head and onto the page. The result? Your writing momentum is supercharged, so you can make it all the way through “the end,” with confidence and joy.
