SUMMER CAMP 2023
We opened in July 2023 with three Trail Walks and two Campfire Talks. Though these events and workshops are over for now, you can join the waiting list to be notified if they run again.
Do you remember when you first fell in love with writing?
We’re on a quest to bring joy and wonder back to the page.
Join us for Trail Walks (author talks and workshops), Campfire Talks (storytelling and research-sharing), Arts & Crafts, and more.
It’s all online, and you don’t even need to get out of your PJs.
The content is riveting and creatively invigorating. The vibe is chill.

Many years ago, Cosmographia Book’s publisher Nina Alvarez looked at a cartoon website template of summer camp, the one you see here on this site. She said out loud with all her heart “I wish work could feel like that.” This is the fruition of that long-held desire: if work could feel like a cartoon summer camp.
