Brantford Book Camp is starting on Monday! I am getting really excited about this. Our adult writing camp filled almost immediately, but applications for the kids’ camp trickled in right to the very end. “Full” for kids’ Book Camp is 48, but we take up to 56 kids. We reached 48 a month ago, and I believe we just had number 56 come in on Wednesday.
We have a lovely new building this year. Laurier Brantford is one of our sponsors and they have been wonderfully accomodating. Book Camp is being held at the newly built Laurier Brantford Student Centre. The facilities are state of the art. Lots of tall windows, comfy chairs and great A/V equipment. I also like the fact that the kids are being patterned into attending a university facility.
I am also excited about our new addition — Adult Book Camp. We decided to offer this due to popular demand and it is shaping up to be spectacular. We have a number of surprise guests dropping by and we will even be having a phone-in workshop with a literary agent!
The adult writing camp participants are themselves pretty impressive. Several have received book contracts already and many are already published. This week will keep me hopping!
