Dream it, Draw it, Draft it!
Got ideas swirling in your head? This is your chance to bring them to life. Join other teen creatives for a fast-paced, art-fueled writing adventure where you’ll invent wild characters, sketch out stories, and kick-start your own original creation, whether it’s a comic, a short story, or something totally new.
Led by award-winning author Laurie Woodward and guest illustrator Stephanie Roth Sisson, this exclusive teen experience blends storytelling, illustration, outdoor inspiration, and serious writing time. No pressure. Just your imagination, some snacks, and a whole lot of encouragement.
Open to SLO County teens ages 13–18 (middle/high school, home/distance learners).
Just $75 thanks to our generous sponsors. *Scholarships available.
