Writing About Nature

Immerse yourself in nature to create a nature journal as a source of inspiration and activate your imagination. After a nature walk to observe and gather ideas, we’ll read writing from nature poets like Mary Oliver and Joy Harjo and learn how to use descriptive language and sensory imagery to deepen our understanding of the natural world and ourselves. Students may choose to develop one piece of writing or begin a collection to continue after camp. This class is for everyone, from the beginner to the more experienced writer, to enjoy learning to write descriptively and with confidence. Join me to learn more about how connecting to the sights and sounds of our natural surroundings offers space for reflection and transformation.
