SIUE Summer Writing Camp
is presented through the Department of English Language and Literature, the Writing Day Camp offers intensive and practical development in basic writing skills in combination with a full and vigorous recreational program.
Students are grouped according to their grade level in school, with groups averaging about 10 students each. Total enrollment is limited to 72 student-campers per session. The camp director is assisted by a staff comprised of area elementary and secondary school and University teachers and recreational counselors. The adult-student ratio in the Writing Camp is about 1 to 10.
The writing sessions of the camp concentrate on intensive practice in the development and expression of ideas. The objective of the program is the development of skill in the articulation of thought in the sentence, the paragraph, and the short composition, as well as, by means of collaborative effort, in such creative forms as poetry, drama, and fiction. Instruction in spelling, grammar, punctuation, and other basics of language usage is provided on an individual basis as needed, but not as an objective of the program. Students at all grade levels use computers extensively in the composition process, but they do not need prior experience with computers to do well in the program.
The sole requirement for admission to the Writing Camp is the desire to learn to write well.
The beautiful natural setting of its 2,600-acre campus makes Southern Illinois University Edwardsville ideal for a summer recreational program for youths. Student-campers can participate in a wide range of recreational activities that stimulate their imagination and develop their physical skills: swimming, volleyball, bowling, and nature exploration, among others.
Writing instructors and recreational counselors try to ensure that student-campers view the writing and recreational parts of the camp as one continuous learning experience.

Sherwood Forest is a year-round youth development organization, we offer both experiential adventures and evidence-based programs that reinforce and support school-year learning. Traditional camp activities such as overnight camp-outs, extended backpacking trips, and river excursions are balanced by programs including Book Club and the Arthur and Helen Baer Foundation Creative and Performing Arts Program.
Sherwood Forest offers an environment of acceptance, support, self-discovery, and learning like no other. Here, kids cultivate their individual interests and talents, immerse themselves in nature, and develop important life skills like teamwork and responsibility.
In order to be eligible for our programs, campers should live in one of the following counties – St. Louis City, St. Louis County, Jefferson County, Franklin County, St. Charles County, St. Clair County (IL), or Madison County (IL). Sherwood Forests reserves 80% of our spaces for children from low-income families. This is defined by a child’s qualification for the Summer Food Service Program. Campers who do not qualify for this program are able to attend camp, but priority is given to those who do qualify. It is also a requirement that campers themselves have a strong interest in going to camp. Regardless of a parent/guardians wish for their child(ren) to go to camp, if a child does not want to come to camp, they will struggle to adjust to camp life and, in some cases, might never fully adjust. Please be sure to discuss camp thoroughly with your child(ren), to make certain that they want to attend camp.
In addition to a desire to attend camp, children must be able to demonstrate behavior that is safe and appropriate for their age. We are not a therapeutic camp. While we will work with children to help them transition to camp life, we are not able to manage behaviors that make camp an unsafe environment for your child(ren) and other children.

Camp Roehr
is a seven-day residential camp for
children between the ages of six through seventeen
years old who have epilepsy. Camp Roehr was originally named in honor of Mr.Tony Roehr. Mr. Roehr was a strong advocate in St.Clair County, Illinois, for those with developmental
disabilities throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s. Tony was very active by serving on the boards of several
disability organizations in St. Clair County. He also
served as the director for Advocates for the
Developmentally Disabled in the 1980’s. Mr. Roehr
had a close relationship with the Epilepsy Foundation
for many years. Sadly, St. Clair County lost a great
advocate when Mr. Roehr died in 1991. The Epilepsy
Foundation of Greater Southern Illinois wanted to
honor his memory. Thus, the annual camp for
children with epilepsy was re-named Camp Roehr.
Camp Roehr gives young people with special
needs a variety of opportunities to focus on their
strengths. With a staff of caring, qualified counselors and
medical support personnel, the children are able to
make new friends and have a great time in a safe,
supportive environment. Held at Trout Lodge in Potosi, Mo. www.ymcaoftheozarks.org
