Writers at Harriman

Any high school student can apply, ages 14 through 18. Since we have only 40 slots per year we encourage you to sign up early. Students must have a passion for writing and creativity. In 2025, Writers at Harriman will be holding camp on the McCall Outdoor Science School (MOSS) campus.
This year also brings a change as we add a fifth instructor to guide the students through the art of visual storytelling on film.
Writers at Harriman is the perfect place for creative high school students to learn, share, explore, and expand their horizons.
