Event Description

Unleash your imagination! In this creative writing workshop for ages 12+, you’ll explore the timeless “hero’s journey” — the story structure behind epic adventures and unforgettable characters. Through fun prompts, guided exercises, and group discussion, you’ll create your own hero and craft a journey filled with challenges, allies, and dedly challenges.
