Join us for writer camp 2024
Short camp: Thursday, June 27-Sunday, June 30
Long camp: Wednesday, JULY 31-Sunday, August 4
Writer Camp is a laid-back mini-vacation with plenty of time for writing. No readings, no mandatory sessions, no schedules: you decide when it’s time to write, read, or nap in a hammock. Each participant also has the option of receiving detailed feedback from a Barrelhouse editor or visiting writer on their work.
Your registration fee includes lodging, meals, a few group activities, plenty of time to write, and campfires every night.
Camp Basics
“I hadn’t written in years and was just wanting to re-spark my love of and devotion to writing and Writer Camp Did That. It’s cheaper than any vacation I’ve ever been on and it did so much more for my spirit than a few days at the beach or whatever. Giving myself the gift of time and space to write was hands-down the best thing I’ve done for myself in years. ”
Where do you want to write? Your private room, the big event hall, in a lounge chair by the creek, or in a handwoven hammock?
Writer Camp is hosted by Godspeed Events and Lodging in Port Matilda, PA, roughly 10 minutes outside State College.
“I’ve been to a number of writing conferences, and Barrelhouse Writer Camp was the best of the bunch. I wrote dozens of new pages, and the friends I made in these few short days will be in my life for years to come. I can’t wait for next summer.”
