A fiction leads with voice: the narrative voice of the novel, as well as each character’s unique sound, style, and perspective, from protagonist to supporting cast. Whatever the plot, YA books embrace the keen energy of coming of age and draw the reader into an intimate reading experience. In this workshop, designed for beginners as well as seasoned writers, we’ll explore what it takes to establish the voice and mood of your story. In a community-building environment, we’ll: • Identify the promise you’ll make to your reader, and hone in on how to keep it. • Connect to the texture of the experience you want to create on the page. And, most importantly: Write in your YA voice. Remembering back to your own life at the age of your characters, we’ll work on capturing a voice that is honest and authentic.

“Robin Hood” is a timeless tale of heroism, justice, and adventure. Under the guidance of experienced theater professionals from Missoula Children’s Theatre, camp participants will come together to bring this beloved story to life. Throughout the camp, children will receive professional training in acting, singing, dancing, and stagecraft. They will learn valuable skills, build confidence, and develop a deep appreciation for the performing arts. Working collaboratively as a team, they will audition, rehearse, create, and refine their roles, all while building lasting friendships and memories. As the curtains rise on the grand finale, the audience will be transported to the enchanting Sherwood Forest, where Robin Hood and his merry band of outlaws fight for justice against the tyrannical Sheriff of Nottingham. From the spirited adventures of the famous archer to the lively characters who inhabit this medieval world, the production will be a delight for audiences of all ages. With colorful costumes, imaginative set designs, and a lively musical score, the stage will come alive with the magic of theater.
