About the provider

Adventures in Writing Camp was created by Stanford-educated authors Hans and Jen Hartvickson in partnership with Doctor Alison DeMark and teacher Jonny D. Williams. The program states that it creates positive, confidence-building experiences with writing and helps children fall in love with writing. It uses credentialed teachers and has a student-to-staff ratio of not more than seven-to-one, with extensive background checks and significant training for team members.
