This camp day outline focuses on fiction storytelling. The day is 4 hours long and includes icebreaker activities like Telepictionary and Story Cubes to engage teens. They will learn about elements of fiction through discussion and do writing exercises on character development. Teens get to both write their own stories and participate in a round robin storytelling activity. Breaks are scheduled throughout for snacks or rest, with most of the day spent doing hands-on writing work with optional sharing and feedback.
