WELCOME TO THE HVWC CALENDAR: home of all our upcoming readings, events and workshops. You can view by list or calendar (see right menu to choose). Click the colored tabs below to show only specific options. Our workshops run as multi-session series or one-day “intensives.” Note, we list the multi-session courses on the first day they meet only. The full dates of the session are described in the course descriptions. You would need to scroll back to the start date if you needed to enroll for something already underway. But do let us know if you want to join something in midstream since we need the blessing of the instructor. Questions? Email us.

Writer’s Express Summer Camp: Creating Books
August 1, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
We’re happy to present a weekly in-person summer camp, taking place at HVWC’s historic train station.
This week’s theme is Creating Books!
August 1-5
9:00 AM-12:00 PM
For students entering grades 3-5 in September 2022.
Through this interactive workshop, students will get to write, draw, and assemble their own picture books. Prompts and exercises will be utilized for students to generate new ideas and bring their stories to life.
Students will receive individualized instruction and group writing time. Students should pack a snack, water bottle and bring a notebook. HVWC’s space is air conditioned, and our HVAC system was upgraded in 2021 with the latest air filtering technology. Masks will be optional for this group. Please advise if there are any food allergies. Space is limited to ten students.
