<p>[Wofford</a> College Newsroom - ?Shared Worlds? residential camp coming to Wofford](<a href=“http://wofford.edu/newsroom/content.aspx?id=27822]Wofford”>http://wofford.edu/newsroom/content.aspx?id=27822)</p>
<p>Saw an ad for this on Facebook, of all places. It’s a creative writing camp that emphasizes speculative fiction and incorporates typically engineering-campy activities like computer programming and model rocketry. Not terribly prestigious or academically strenuous, I guess, but… is it just me, or does this sound like the coolest camp ever? (Except for TASP, of course. ;)) Wish I could go, but I’ve got a schedule conflict, and there’s the matter of the thousand-dollar tuition…</p>
<p>This does sound amazing. July 20 to August 2. Use the 2008 link.

<p>“The program, which will feature authors, artists, designers, and scientists, will center on the fictional “shared worlds” participating students create. To build these worlds, participants will have overview classes in many disciplines, including history, religion, and science – many taught by Wofford College professors and instructors, and professionals in the fields of writing and art.”</p>
<p>“04/01/08 – Steven Zides will lead a world design group and will also teach the following classes: Pull Yourself Together: Newtonian Gravitation and Planetology; Dancing with the Stars: Stellar Evolution and the Conservation of Energy; Getting There is Half the Battle: Interplanetary and Interstellar Travel; and, All Creatures, Great and Small: General Relativity and Quantum Theory.”</p>
<p>Creative writing, science, physics. Gaming, computer game design.
$1275 for two weeks.</p>

I would say “yes”</p>
