Pat Conroy Literary Center launches the inaugural CAMP CONROY June 18-29 (8:00-4:00 p.m.) in partnership with the Technical College of the Lowcountry.

Led by children’s author and artist Lisa Anne Cullen and poet Miho Kinnas, this two-week summer camp for middle-school-aged students to rising high school sophomores offers hands-on learning experiences with writing, illustrating, designing, editing, and publishing a book. The program will focus on research, exploration, and interpretation of the lowcountry’s natural environment.

Camp Conroy is limited to 15 participants. The $299 registration fee includes daily lunches and two field trips. Two scholarships are available; to apply, students should submit a sample of their work (essay, poem, artwork, or photograph) by June 10 to the Pat Conroy Literary Center, 308 Charles Street, Beaufort, SC 29902, ATTN: Camp Conroy. Camp registration forms are available online at www.td.edu or www.tinyurl.com/campconroy
