North Country students, teachers, teens, parents: mark your calendars… ACW’s annual High School Writing Retreat will take place Thursday, October 27 and Friday, October 28 from 9-3pm each day at Paul Smith’s College.

This two day retreat gives high schoolers the chance to see performances, to take workshops, to share their work on stage, and to work collaboratively on writing with other students from all over the North Country. Plus, they’ll be learning from three professional poets with many years of teaching and performance experience. It’s an unforgettable program for teen writers, and you don’t want to miss it!

We’ll explore principles of flight, engineering, and innovation with a read-aloud, discussion, and some seriously fun hands-on activities. Homeschool Thursdays are geared for children in grades K-6, but other ages are welcome. Although not necessary, if you know you’ll be attending this week send us an email as it helps with materials and set-up needs.
