Bright Hill Press offers its Youth Internship Program in conjunction with its youth arts education workshops this summer led by master teaching artist Bertha Rogers, founding director of Bright Hill.
ABOUT THE SUMMER WORKSHOPS
The in-person, socially-distanced workshops will take place at Bright Hill Literary Center’s Education Wing, 94 Church Street, Treadwell, NY. The first is the Young Collectors Club Workshop (July 12-16), and the second is Legends of the Stars and Planets (August 13-17). SPACE IS LIMITED FOR BOTH PARTICIPANTS AND INTERNS. All of the Bertha Rogers-led Bright Hill Literary Workshops for Kids include writing and visual arts and in-corporate science and math for projects; we believe in STEAM. THE WORKSHOPS will take place from 9 am - 2:30 pm; Bright Hill will provide morning and afternoon snacks, but kids should bring their own bag lunches.
