Look Out, Indiana Jones – Stunt Writing Week at the Gilford Library is Right Around the Corner

July 14, 2008 by Lani Voivod, Chief Scribbler.

GILFORD, NH - Q: What would you get if you crossed the adventurous spirit of Indiana Jones with the creative writing and storytelling skills of J.K. Rowling?

A: The 2008 Wild Quills Writing Camp at the Gilford Public Library!

Monday July 21st through Friday July 25th, from 9am to 12pm, 9-14 year olds have the opportunity to learn how to be fearless, daring, and utterly amazing, using writing tools and talents they may not typically use during the regular school year.

“Get out your bullwhips and fedoras, ‘cuz it’s Stunt Writing Week,” says camp leader and Chief Scribbler Lani Voivod, who’s led campers through their own heroic journeys, full-body improv exercises, and buckets of spaghetti with their bare feet in past writing workshops and camps at the Library.

According to Voivod, her brave Stunt Writers will be “immersing themselves in unique experiences in order to gain greater insight into them – more than they would if they were simply ‘objective reporters.’ That’s what Stunt Writing’s all about.”

This popular summer brain booster is open to “young writers, journal jockeys, poets, scribes, and reckless scribblers in search of fun and creative adventure,” says Voivod. There are still a few slots left open, but space is limited. The admission price is $50, and “all rides and attractions are included,” Voivod adds with a wink.

To reserve your spot now, call the Library at 603-524-6042, or email Tasha LeRoux at tasha@gilfordlibrary.org.
