The Young Writers Educational Retreat or YWER (pronounced “why we are”) is a brand new opportunity for middle school students from Waldorf schools who are interested in developing as young writers to meet and connect with other young writers. It is kind of like the Waldorf tradition of Pentathlon but subtract the wrestling, add lots of creative writing, then throw in a summer camp vibe.

If you love to write and would like to see your work published one day, this may be the camp for you. To be considered, students must submit:

an Application (parents can help with this part)

a short Personal Essay (easy peasy)

and

a Teacher Recommendation (trust us, your teacher would love to write this!)
