With support from the California Arts Council 916 Ink will provide five sessions of our weeklong Amplify Summer Creative Writing Camps in June, July and August of 2025 to 125 students in grades 3-8. In each session, up to 25 students will receive 30 hours of immersive literary arts instruction and publish 3-5 pieces of original creative writing.
916 Ink is Sacramento’s arts-based creative writing and literacy nonprofit that provides workshops and tutoring to transform Sacramento youth into strong readers, confident communicators, and published authors. Our programs increase literacy skills, improve vocabulary, teach empathy, positively impact social and emotional learning, and expand communication skills. We envision a Sacramento region where every child and teen is given access to a culturally relevant creative writing program that leads them to believe in themselves and to understand the power of the written word.
