Testimonials from Camp Writing Bear
What some of our past attendees have to say...
"You have created an interior space from which I could write and rewrite, languish and explore, with just the right distractions."
"It was a safe place in which to be open to new things, both those which came from the work of other writers and those which came from deep within myself. The silence was absolutely wonderful. . . . I was initially nervous about reading my work in the company of such gifted writers; but what I know now is the uniqueness of my own voice."
"I am enriched."
"I had not thought of myself as a writer before. I was surprised by the joy of writing through hours of uninterrupted bliss under an oak tree. I found the structure enormously helpful in enabling me to think like a writer, deepen my consciousness of detail—just enough structure. Our meetings in early morning and late afternoon were sessions of pleasure, delight, and laughter as we shared our writings with each other. So many forms found a place: memoir, non-fiction, short story, novel, poetry. The range of work and the helpful, non-competitive feedback was wonderful. Camp Writing Bear was a life-changing experience for which I will always be grateful."
"The leaders knew what balance to bring into each day."
"What I loved was the quiet."
"The closer the date came to being the weekend the more uneasy I became—five days of doing nothing but writing. Should I have taken the time? Spent all that money? Did I belong here amongst writers? Yet, despite all the chattering, in my head, I packed up books, writing materials, ideas folders, writings to revise and a few clothes, and I came. The whole Writing Camp experience was everything I could imagine only better and different and incredibly fulfilling."
"These days allowed me a peace I have not felt in a long time."
"The space for writing and the kindhearted feedback were pure gold. I think I've connected with the writer in me in a new and serious way. I'm taking her home with me, if she'll come."
