Workshops
Writers @ Harriman was the first group to use the new Scovel Center. A select group of high school students from all over Idaho wrote, studied, hiked and explored Harriman State Park for a week, August 2 - 8, 2009
Students arrived on Sunday before 5:00 p.m., settled in, and had dinner. Breakfast was at 8:30 daily, followed at 9:00 by a craft talk from a guest or writer. At 10:00, students worked with their writers, followed by time to write. This group was the same students and writer all week, sort of home base. Lunch was at 12:30, and at 1:00 students worked in their elective groups.

Campers also completed a service project directed by the Harriman State Park
staff. Dinner was at 6:00. After-dinner plans change every day, and some
included
student planning and participation.
Families and friends were invited to the reading on Friday, August 7, where students shared some of what they had written during the week. Camp breaks up following breakfast on Saturday morning.
