Writopia Lab's 2023 Benefit

Celebrating 

10 Years 

of WriCampia

For the last ten years, your support has allowed hundreds of young writers whose guardians have applied for financial aid to spend two weeks immersed in nature and the creative arts, strengthening their skills and confidence, and forging lasting connections. WriCampia is a magical flagship of Writopia's programming, and we are committed to providing this singular program to families in need of financial support. Many of these participants also take part in our year-long Write-to-Recognition program as well where 50 writers from low-income backgrounds receive free weekly workshops and 30 private sessions throughout the year. 

Your 2023 donation this year will help us continue to grow and expand our WriCampia and school-year scholarship programs.
