2018 Brave Writer Summer Camp RECAP

2018 Brave Writer Summer Camo

We had the best time with all of you during Brave Writer Summer Camp!

Your photos brought so much joy to our team. We kept sharing them in our staff chat channel, ooing and ahhing over your darling kids, your creative solutions to watching the webinars while herding your children into happy activities, and the wonderful notes you took and shared with your friends!

We also LOVED all the comments you made during our sessions. Did you know that when we put your comments into a Word doc, they took up 88 pages!? You all had a LOT to say and we look forward to taking your ideas and making Brave Writer even better because of them!

In the meantime, it’s time to announce the WINNERS of our giveaway and contest.
