Crafting Irresistible Characters! for Ages 12 - 16
JULY 18th - 22nd
From 10 am - 2 pm, Reading last day of camp from 5 - 6 pm

At BookBar 4280 Tennyson Street Denver 80212
Instructor: Heather Sappenfield

Favorite book characters: What makes you adore them? This camp will first scout out the traits and elements that shape irresistible characters. Then it will explore the ways that character creates story and interacts with plot. It will journey along the threads of setting, point of view, voice/tone, symbolism and theme. Each day, participants will experiment with this evolving map of craft, using it to write their own new characters or to enhance established ones.

For this camp Denver Writes and BookBar will be providing lunches, please provide us with dietary restrictions. Cost of this camp is $350. Scholarships and partial scholarships are available.

Transportation Permission Form & Waiver. We believe that having many different experiences in life is just as important to writers as imagination. So we are taking students on as many field trips as possible, but that includes getting them to and from, which requires a student’s guardian’s permission.Here are the details of our anticipated trips: We will be walking and taking transportation from BookBar to several locations this week. There may be one or two times when a student might need to be transported in the car of a volunteer, but this is unlikely. Still, we need your permission. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I give permission for my child to be transported via RTD, ridesharing service, and/or in a motor vehicle driven by a Denver Writes volunteer to any camp sponsored activities between the dates of June 13th - 17th, 2022. I understand that my child is expected to follow all applicable laws regarding riding in these forms of transportation and is expected to follow the directions provided by the driver a nd/or other adult volunteers. I have read, understand, and discussed with my child that: (1) They will be traveling in a motor vehicle driven by an adult and they are to wear their safety-belt (when available) while traveling; (2) They are expected to respect each other, the vehicles they ride in, and the people they travel with during the trip; (3) They are to remain in their seats and not be disruptive to the driver of the vehicle; and (4) Riding in a motor vehicle may result in personal injuries or death from accidents, collisions or acts by riders, other drivers, or objects.I recognize that by participating in this activity, as with any activity involving motor vehicle transportation, my child may risk personal injury or permanent loss. I hereby attest and verify that I have been advised of the potential risks, that I have full knowledge of the risks involved in this activity, and that I assume any expenses that may be incurred in the event of an accident, illness, or other incapacity, regardless of whether I have authorized such expenses. As a condition for the transportation received, I, for myself, my child, my executors and assigns, further agree to release and forever discharge Denver Writes, its Board of Directors, and their agents, officers, employees and volunteers from any claim that I might have myself or that I could bring on my child’s behalf with regard to any damages, demands or actions whatsoever, including those based on negligence, in any manner arising out of this transportation.
