June 22-26 for 12-14 year olds
Space is limited to 10 campers
Hosted by the non-profit Pat Conroy Literary Center and held at the Center’s campus at 601 Bladen Street in Beaufort.
This years’ camp theme is AI-Artful Intelligence, Creativity and Technology. We will discover how AI can sometimes enhance (not replace!) human creativity by building a book together-creating both individually and collaboratively. The campers will write, design, critique, edit all in preparation for publication of a book.
Campers will be guided through their creative endeavors by Camp Conroy’s talented counselors, 3 full-time adult instructors, and special guests presenters and instructors. Campers will each receive a copy of the camp anthology on publication after the camp concludes.
Adult instructors include:
Miho Kinnas, a Japanese poet/writer residing on Hilton Head. She is the author of three poetry collections and one book (about to be two books). This is her 9thyear as an instructor at Camp Conroy.
Deidre Garr Johns, a writer and 20-year veteran teacher also residing on Hilton Head, and is a published author of poetry and children’s fiction This is her second year as an instructor at Camp Conroy.
Thomas ‘TJ’ Belasco, taught English literature and composition for 34 years and lives in Beaufort. TJ, a newly-appointed board member of the Conroy Literary Center, is also a published author
Linda Warner Constantino- a few words of background as a designer:
I am a natural teacher. I love to learn how to create new things. I taught Illustration for 20 years at Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia. My students fed my enthusiasm for creativity. I like to think I did the same.
