Portland's status as a literary city—home to Powell's City of Books and a thriving independent publishing scene—extends to excellent creative writing programs for young people. From the prestigious Fir Acres Workshop drawing high schoolers nationally to the quintessentially Portland zine-making at IPRC, there's a program for every young writer. These camps emphasize finding one's voice, experimenting with form, and connecting with a community of writers. Many take advantage of Portland's literary resources and natural beauty to inspire creativity.
