Youth Writing Camps
Appleseed provides a safe, welcoming atmosphere for students to explore all genres of writing under the guidance of experienced writing teachers from area schools as well as Purdue Fort Wayne. Students who are interested in learning about writing, improving their writing, and are looking for a community of individuals who share a love for writing are welcome to join. A common question for Appleseed is, "What if I'm not good at writing or what if I don't like writing? Should I still participate in Appleseed?" Appleseed is for all individuals, including reluctant and nervous writers. Participants who started off as nervous writers come to love writing by the end of their participation in Appleseed.
