Hosted in partnership with WrapAround Orange, an organization that strives to “make sure that a child’s first contact with the Juvenile Justice system is their last”, Page 15’s Slam Poetry Camp provides a safe, positive outlet for high schoolers struggling with a variety of social and emotional challenges. During this one-week camp, students work with Orlando’s most talented poets to write their very own poem. At the end of the camp, students record their poem in a recording studio, publish it in a chapbook, and perform it live for friends and family. This amazing program empowers young poets through the use of language for self-expression.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI2MTYlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzNzElMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGTFJQR1g0YXhnOW8lMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4lM0UlM0MlMkZpZnJhbWUlM0U=[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text el_class=”slam_poetry_camp_sidebar”]

Their stories of overcoming bullying, family problems and school problems will be used as tools to further reach out to other youth in our community.” – Anne Marie Sheffield,
