Over the course of 12 weeks, they taught students to write clearly, descriptively, and enthusiastically, and to learn how language is a powerful tool. In July of 2023, more than 65 young people gathered for two weeks of summer camp. Campers worked on writing prompts in workshops each morning, then participated in a variety of activities in the afternoon.MWC also offered two series of classes for adults titled Writers Room. These consisted of one multi-week session with four different class options and a one-day workshop with four different options. All of these programs support our mission to build communities of hope and compassion through writing. 204896 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 6 0 true 21 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false true false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false X Dan Brown 4069261625 PO BOX 9237 Missoula MT 59807 Caroline PATTERSON HAEFELE Prev Exec.
