You've climbed a 40 foot cliff, learned how to swing dance and mastered that tricky forehand in Frisbee. And now you're a better writer. What do these adventures and new challenges have to do with learning to write?

At Summer Ink, kids learn to write by rock-climbing and playing basketball, making art and taking hikes — by immersing themselves in rich experiences and then describing what they saw, and thought, and felt about what just happened.

By working intensely on writing skills, kids gain the power and clarity to show the world what they have to say.
