In this three-day camp, students will explore a variety of poetry styles—including Limericks, Haiku, and Free Verse—while expressing their creativity through both writing and illustration. Campers will write original poems, illustrate them in matching styles, and compile their work into a spiral-bound, laminated book with custom cover art. Each poetry style will be treated as a chapter, encouraging students to match tone and imagery—from playful cartoon sketches for Limericks to nature-inspired art for Haiku.
