Out of This World

WRITING CAMP

Our beloved summer camp is back!

A writing camp that focuses on confidence, creativity, and meaningful storytelling.

Out of this World Writing Camp is a five-day immersive writing and art experience for creative kids who love stories, art, and want to be a published author one day. Our theme changes each year and our returning campers from last year have requested for this year's theme to be all about space! 

 

We will turn our 5-room camp house into a story galaxy this summer inspiring young authors ages 8-13 to write original stories, build clay character figures, paint settings, and explore what it means to love writing. Stories WILL NOT need to be space-themed. The theme is meant to create a fun oasis. :)

 

Led by Ms. Katharine, our camp focuses on helping kids develop their unique writing identity as we believe this is what will help kids stand out in the future, especially with the rise of A.I. technologies.​ We end each week with a Red Carpet Story Showcase, where young authors showcase their favorite written story to families, and display their projects in an art gallery format.

July 6-10

What to Expect

Out of this World Writing Camp is set in a charming schoolhouse in Frisco where we transform it into a magical, 5-room writing oasis. This year our camp house will feature a starry sky room, a moon room, a planet room, and you may even see some cute aliens! Young authors will set their own writing goals and move from one cozy room to another. We design our writing oasis to spark creativity and safety.

Each camp session will have no more than 10 kids to ensure every child receives the attention and support they deserve. All camps are led by master writing teacher and founder of All the Write Colors, Ms. Katharine Hsu. She will also have at least one talented and trained camp assistant with her at all times.

Different Ages, Different Journeys

Our camp is for imaginative kids who aspire to be an author one day. We believe that every kid's journey is different. Therefore, we provide tailored writing experiences to support different writers. 

AGES 8-10

Mornings 9am - 11:30am

  • Kids often create multiple short books in one week. Many will prefer hand-drawing and writing on paper books.

  • Spelling and handwriting will not be critiqued at camp. We focus on the story!

  • Some kids who are ready and interested may be introduced to Canva and dabble with book publishing requirements.

AGES 11-13

Afternoon 1:30pm - 4pm

  • Kids often work on one book the entire week. Ex: graphic novel or chapter book

  • Kids will learn about book formatting and book publishing requirements.

  • Some kids may use Canva or Google Doc to type and learn graphic design.

  • Artistic authors may learn about graphic novel development and formatting skills.

WHO WE ARE

All the Write Colors is an in-home literacy center, founded by Katharine Hsu, M.Ed. to help children feel heard, seen, and understood. Ms. Katharine offers courses, private classes, a YouTube Channel, and teaching resources throughout the year. 
 

We help many children publish books during the year through our programs, and this camp is an introduction to this process. Five days is often not enough time to complete all components of publishing but kids will be inspired to learn from other published kid authors.
 

What this camp offers:

  • A strong introduction to the creative writing and book publishing process

  • Praise-based writing feedback and coaching to build confidence

  • Confidence, momentum, and excitement around writing
     

For many children, this camp is the beginning of their lifelong authoring career!
