Creatures from Another Dimension (3rd – 5th grade)

$0.00 – $300.00Price range: $0.00 through $300.00

All students participating in our 2026 summer camps will have the opportunity to publish their work in our 19th anthology, Portals, which will be released in the Fall of 2027.

This camp is great for young writers who are looking to explore character creation, from their physical traits to their deep history. Together, we will dive into what makes our creatures human and what motivates them to embark on adventures in the worlds we envision. We’ll craft stories about their discoveries, the friendships they forge, and the lessons they learn along the way! 

Monday – Friday, June 1 – 5, 2026, 12:00pm – 4:00 pm. This workshop location is TBD.

Suggested Donation: $200

Austin Bat Cave has provided free creative writing programs for Central Texas youth since 2007. Today, no student is ever turned away due to lack of funds, but we ask that families consider making a donation when registering for camps. If each of our summer camp students donated $200, Austin Bat Cave could reach more students than ever. This donation goes towards supplies, instructor stipends, anthology printing costs, and other resources ABC needs to continue amplifying young voices. ABC’s actual cost is approximately $7,000 per camp, but we believe that helping students tell their stories and sharing them with the world is priceless.

When checking out, please add your student’s name and grade in the “Order Notes” section. We’ll use this info to group students into campaigns. Students with zero experience are always welcome!

This Austin Bat Cave summer camp is for students in grades 3 – 5 and limited to 15 students.
