July 11-17, 2022
Adult workshops $895/$805 for Fishtrappers; Youth workshops $550
Take a weeklong writing workshop in your favorite genre: fiction, nonfiction, poetry, memoir, or short story. Each workshop is limited to no more than 13 participants, giving you the opportunity to build connections with a world-class instructor and your fellow writers. Throughout the week, we’ll bring the best of Summer Fishtrap to you through craft talks, discussions, open mics, readings, and a special 35th Anniversary Celebration.
We are happy to be back to in-person events! Join us at Wallowa Lake Lodge — we’ll be celebrating 35 years of Summer Fishtrap so there will be some extra excitement during the week.
We’ve heard that lodging is filling quickly near Wallowa Lake for Summer Fishtrap week and recommend confirming your cabin or camp spot sooner than later.
