At Fir Acres Writing Workshop, sixty high school students from across the country (and world) come together for two weeks during the summer to write and join a community of writers on the beautiful, wooded campus of Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. In daily creative writing Workshops, participants study great writing and produce their own under the guidance of dynamic, thoughtful, published faculty. At night, participants gather to socialize, meet and hear from distinguished visiting writers, and work on their own poetry, fiction, and creative prose. Our mission is to provide a high-caliber, pre-collegiate, creative educational experience to bright, inventive, and passionate high school students. Our program appeals to young writers and artistic students who are drawn to the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and the fun, hip mystique of Portland. Summer 2025 dates: June 22-July 5, 2025.
